Clutch Slave Cylinder Travel

Trying to rule out Clutch Master/Slave issue and determine if pressure plate has failed. Does the video of the slave cylinder seem normal when engaging the clutch?.

That does appear to be normal travel.

Which symptoms of clutch problems ate you having?

Clutch doesn’t engage and can’t shift. Happened quick. Maybe 4 stoplights until complete failure. Suspect pressure plate failure.

Was the clutch slipping before this happened?

Not at all; maybe a day or two before the petal felt a little stiff, hardly enough to notice. Definitely not enough to indicate impending failure.

Seems like the hydraulic portion of the clutch works just fine.

So I'd say you nedd to replace the clutch.

There are several threads in this forum which have replacement instructions. They are accessible by a Google search.

You tube should have instructions as well.
