Subject: [Spridgets] Weird clutch issue
Not a Sprite but a VW Jetta.
Not try to follow this.......
2003 Jetta, 60,000 miles, the clutch was acting up so the kid put a new
slave cylinder on it.
No change.
It works fine up to 3000 rpms then the clutch slips to where the car
will not move and there is no hydralic pressure on the peddal.
Slow down the revs and the pressure comes back, the car drives fine,
shifts fine until you hit 3000 rpms again and I watched as the clutch
pedal went to the floor just as this happened. It went to the floor all
by itself.
Hitler's revenge?
The kid, my son, all his VW buddies, and myself are totally confused.
There was no slipping of the clutch at slow speeds, but what the hell
makes the pressure go away, or should I say what makes the pedal go down
all by itself?
It's so bad the car can not be driven unless you you shift at 2900 rpms
and it will go thru all 5 gears but rev it up and zoom zoom whizzzzzzzzzz.
