No pressure on clutch pedal - can't change gear
Hi,
I've just gone out to my 97 Honda Accord and there is no pressure on my clutch pedal. If I push it down, it goes all the way to the floor, and if I then lift it a little the spring causes it to come back up. Initially there was a little bit of pressure bringing it back up, but now there's none (engine off or on). When the engine is on, I can't engage any gears, presumably because depressing the clutch pedal is not having the normal effect. With the engine off, I can select any of the gears, and if I start the car in a gear it 'jumps' which implies the clutch *is* engaged and the gear selection is working. I am a bit wary of doing this too much as I don't want to put unnecessary strain on any other components in the clutch/gearbox. My guess is clutch master or cylinder - does that sound right? Is there anything simpler that could cause these symptoms? I had a full service about a month ago, so all the fluids should have been topped up then, and I haven't noticed any fluid leaks on the driveway. I'd go and check the fluids right now but it's dark and there's a gale blowing! As it stands I'm going to have to get it towed to the garage as I can't drive it at the moment. Thanks for any help anyone can offer, Al PS If anyone in the UK is reading, what sort of figure should I be looking out for a new clutch cylinder fitted at an independent mechanic? |
