My Clutch Engages At The Floor

Failed clutch release bearing.

My clutch engages at the floor.

The second beetle mentioned in this thread has now finally been repaired progressed to the point that the owner broke the shifter getting it into gear. Caused by 1 all fail modes covered here. A clutch pedal is made for the driver to release the clutch and engage the clutch. Pedal at floor dis engages it.

Broken lever on the pedal top. The clutch cable runs to a throw out fork and bearing. Replacing the cable will allow you to engage the clutch and change gears once more. I m updating this because two identical cars with the same symptoms had two different causes.

My guess is the clutch drags unless i push the clutch pedal 100 to the floor. A clutch that doesn t engage fully or slips under heavy load is the normal failure mode of a worn out friction disc of pressure plate that has lost its tension. We would like to show you a description here but the site won t allow us. Non last this long.

Bad cable is 90 cause. This is extremely common particularly on older cars. The most common reason to have a clutch pedal that goes all the way to the floor is a broken clutch cable. There are four components that can cause the clutch pedal go all the way to the floor.

Clutch engages at floor check my thinking update. No free play is way too loose.
