First, I did search, and for quite a few days but I didn't find too many answers for my exact problem. Here's my problem. Basically I have at least 1 bad motor mount, though I am not sure if that has to do with my clutch problem. When my car is cold and has been sitting awhile, the clutch seems to be fine. Though, once I've been driving about 20-30min, the clutch starts to feel like it is barely engaging. Basically, when this occurs I'll ease on the gas pedal and the clutch will keep slipping. I checked the clutch pedal height and freeplay, as well as set them back into spec. That affected nothing and I still have the problem. It's like the clutch just fades away. It seems to me like the clutch isn't fully engaging but I don't know where to start. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at my wits end.

 

Ask mtcooksen, he knows everything

My only suggestion so far is to rebleed the hydraulics and see if that helps. Inspect the clutch master and take a close look at the slave cylinder. Or even take it off and see if it's leaky/gummed up.

 

Thanks for the help Jeff. I was just about to go re-bleed it. Damn, I knew I should have replaced the master/slave cylinder and a bunch of other little things when I converted to 5spd!

 

You've probably already done it, but just incase you haven't just make sure that the resevoir for the hydrualic fluid for the clutch is filled to max and that there is enough fluid in there....i had a similar problem when i had my clutch changed and it turned out that i had the fluid filled and the problem went away. Just a thought.

Actually, I have the reservoir filled nearly 1cm more than the max amount so I really need to bleed it!

 

Ahhhh, i see....alrite cool then....hope it fixes the problem!
