I've never owned a manual before this one. I've only had it from about 45800-present (48100) and it appears the clutch isn't the same today as it was on every previous day. Today when I was driving it seemed like the clutch pedal was sticking to my shoe or something and it wasn't as smooth when I let off the clutch as it once was. It now feels like its going through like steps if that makes sense. Anyone else had this problem and is it a faulty clutch or throw out bearings or what?

 

Check the fluid in the clutch reservoir. It should be clear. If it's dark and cloudy, remove as much as you can with a turkey baster, refill with new fluid, bleed the system until you get clear fluid, and refill the reservoir.

Lubricate the clutch pedal where it mounts in the bracket under the dash and the clevis pin where it attaches to the pedal.

If that doesn't improve the situation, you can rebuild the master and slave cylinders.

If that doesn't help, you'll need to remove the transmission to find what's wrong.

 

I haven't had time to do this yet but today I checked my clutch fluid and it's like brownish Orange. While I was driving I was at a stop light and when I went to go I lightly (as I always do) let off the clutch and halfway it jumped to the top and my car went flying forward. I think I'm just going to take it to a transmission place early next week and drive my grandma's car until then. Thanks for the help, hopefully it's just the fluid and not the clutch itself going out or the throw out bearings or my transmission going out.

 

I have the same problem. Dealership says it's my clutch assembly that need replace.

 

That's like $1k if you get it fixed at a shop. wow. I don't know, today it was warmer out than yesterday and it wasn't doing it as bad so idk. maybe I should just grease the clutch bracket and see what happens.
