idosubaru Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Hydraulic clutch - if the clutch pedal doesn't come back up does that mean there's air in the hydraulic lines or the throw out bearing is toast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvu Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 If there's air, theres a leak. Check the lines for wetness and under the clutch reservoir. Get a scredriver and depress the slave piston in so you can wiggle the clutch fork back and forth. It should only move in two directions. If it's flopping all over the place, somethings broken, bearing, fork, pivot pin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Is anything interfering with the clutch pedal? Carpet or mat for example? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodta Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Good recs above. Presuming the clutch pedal hasn't disengaged the clutch with the pedal down, sounds like a leaking/blown slave or master cylinder. +1 on @nvu's checks for fluid, and great note by @forester2002s - don't overlook the obvious. Haven't had the slave or master go out on my stock 2010 WRX (yet), but have experienced this on other vehicles, as well as a snapped clutch cable on an older '84 GL Hatch. Definitely a bit of a confusion moment for a sec, then the ah cuhrap... Brake fluid-y jobs are one of my least favorite just 'cause I hate the stuff (anything involving grease requires executive override on procrastination to tackle that task, though nitrile glubs make it much nicer), but neither of these is too hard to replace, as I'm sure you're aware. Definite a nuisance. Worst part, imo, is the cleanup, and getting someone to pump the pedal to bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
