Default Clutch Problems, Help!

i was pulling my car into the driveway and when i pushed the clutch in it just stays fully depressed, there are only two positions: fully depressed and all the way out; there is no in-between, it seems like there is no pressure

Please do a search.

If you have an '07, there's a recall.

If you don't, you need to:

- Flush out clutch fluid with DOT4 synethic fluid
- Replace the clutch line with a stainless steel line
- Get your master/slave cylinder replaced
- Combination of any of the above.

This would be a good time for a aftermarket clutch.

The JWT is going to actually be louder tha stock. It's a great clutch- just don't expect it to be quiet.
