June 28, 201114 yr A leaking hydraulic cylinder would not allow the clutch to fully disengage, this would make it hard to shift.
June 28, 201114 yr Author Usually not - usually they just won't disengage properly or the pedal snaps to the floor and won't come back up. GD This is were I get confused.. if it's say stuck to the floor how is it that the clutch is engaged? I'm pretty sure it's the slave cylinder related sometimes it happens sometimes not. when shifting from 3rd to 4th on the highway it's slow to release and grab and the rpms make that known.. I've tried the 4th gear trick
June 28, 201114 yr WHen the clutch pressed to floor pressurized fluid moves through the system and moves the presure plate to disenage the clutch disc and disconnect the transmission from the engine. An engaged clutch the pressure plate is pressing against the clutch disc and power is sent to the transmission. A clutch pedal on the floor with no clutch disengagement will be due to a failure of hydraulic system. This would make it impossible to get into gear while the car is running.

I've never had it impossible to get in gear while the car is running
June 28, 201114 yr A bad slave will not cause slipping. If it's slipping then the clutch is bad. The pedal sticks to the floor when there is air in the system. It's a complex little system actually and hard to describe. After you have bled a few and changed enough slaves you get a "feeling" for how they work..... but your problem is not the slave. GD
June 29, 201114 yr Author Ash so it is slipping.. but it wont slip unless I'm in 4th and rev it to about 4500 then let the clutch back out.
