Hey guys,
When I went out to my project car about a week ago I started her up, pushed in the clutch, and when I went to put her into gear I got a surprise. It just grided...

So I pulled my foot off the pedal and to my surprise it stayed on the floor!

The car had been sitting in the garage for about a month without being started in winter weather (down to about 10-15 degrees outside) and hasn't been driven since thanksgiving day.


What could be wrong besides a shot slave cylinder?
Hopefully it just requires a quick bleed, but I'm kind of skeptical because it ran fine when I parked it a few months ago.

 

Check fluid level... bleed master... and wa-la!

 

either master cylinder or slave cylinder is shot. or you have a leak in the line. try adding fluid and bleeding the system if it happens again i say just replace both of what i mentioned.

 

Hey i am in the same boat but the fluid levels are good as far as i can tell.

 

Bleed out the master, then bleed out the slave (cylinders).
