Well im freaking out cus my clutch is sticking. If i press it in all the way it takes a little more time to pop back up... What can be the problem? I'm thinking its a bad clutch

Subject: Re: Stickky Clutch! help December 8th 2009, 1:51 pm

If it just started happening could be because of the cold, I'm thinking maybe moisture somewhere, freazing? maybe possibly

Subject: Re: Stickky Clutch! help December 8th 2009, 2:12 pm

mine does the same thing in cold as shit weather
literally takes 2-3 seconds for the clutch to spring back up when it is cold as shit
makes for some interesting/fun driving for the first 5-10 minutes

Your clutch fluid is cold as shit, thus it is more viscos, its going to take longer for it to flow through the lines to and from the slave cylinder.
You brake pedal might do the same thing too.
Now just think what its like for your engine if you have anything thicker than 0W or 5W in there on cold starts....

You dont need to replace it until it fails... which is rarely.

Subject: Re: Stickky Clutch! help December 8th 2009, 9:51 pm

hmm im not sure, maybe? i just always thought that global warming was from greenhouse gases eat away ozone layers which then allow too much heat to hit the planet and not escape which then warms the earth?? haha i dont know

like ryan said, all this causes the earths climate to change, causing colder winters, hotter summers, hot snow to fall up etc. It all depends where you are located.

Sounds like your slave or master cylinder may be going. Keep an eye on your fluid levels and check for leaks.
