Clutch problem

I got a problem with my clutch pedal on my 240. Its stuck to the floor. When I pull it up it stays up, but when I push it down, its stuck. Its like there is no pressure against the clutch pedal. When its stuck and I try to start the car (with the clutch pedal to the floor) the car moved by its self forward when its in first. If I am holding the brakes, it tries to go forward. I dont know what the problem is. Any ideas?

i had that problem with my fc, the clutch fluid had leaked out. just put some dot 3 or 4 into it and just pump the clutch till its back to normal. you should get it checked out also cause you might have a bad leak.

Any other ideas?

D00d, you need to take care of your ride. Yes, you should be worried about an empty overflow.


Anyway, if your resevoir is still full, but still no clutch, check your clutch slave cylinder. I don't know where there are on 240's. See if it's seeping or leaking. First thing tomorrow, go to an Auto Parts store and by a Repair Manual


Like this:





They'll tell you exactly where everything is located
