so i was driving my Z today and noticed there is a little slack in my clutch pedal. it used to be stiff as soon as i pressed it in, however now there is about 1" of play before it actually engages / gets stiff....

everything drives fine and the gears are solid, just curious why this would start happening....

pretty vague problem / description i know, but i dont know how else to describe it help!

 

What year is your car? Miles? Factory or aftermarket clutch?

 

ive been having the same problem with mine as well and i took it to the dealer for the same problem last year and they replaced the slave cylinder. called them again today to see if they can check it out so ill be dropping it off tomorrow..hopefully its something not to serious. what part of houston are you from?

 

sorry forgot to post details.

06 base model, 40k miles, stock clutch / everything drivetrain related.

I just took it on a 900 mile road trip and everything is now working fine, so im not sure what was up.


I had a miata when i lived in vegas that had the same issue only it was WAY worse, had to pump the clutch pedal over and over to build up pressure, this was a slave cylinder issue. hopefully thats not the case for my Z as everything is working as normal now...

 

got my car back today and they had to replace the master cylinder this time...all is fine now.
