stuck clutch and window treatment
Hey everyone i have some more questions if anyone can help me out
my clutch has been getting stuck down half way, after i swtich gears, the clutch doesnt come up all the way, i have to pull it up with my foot. i was thinking it was the brake master cylinder, but i just replaced that almost a year ago. Is there a spring or something? any suggestions?? Also i would like my windows to be real clean, esp the hatch back window, like new, does anyone know of any window treatments or anything of that sort, or ways to give in a good cleaning, besides windex. Thanks -DW '87 924s |

not the brake master cylinder, the clutch master cylinder. they're seperate.
get on your back and look up at the top of the pedal and you'll see a spring... if it's still connected, then bleed your clutch... if the problem persists, check the driver's side carpet near the pedal for dampness (brake fluid leaking in)... if that fails, I'd replace both cylinders (clutch master and slave).

For your windows: a straight edge razor blade taken to both sides will remove all of the crap, and leave you with nice clean windows. Very classy.

dont take a razor blade to your hatch window. you'll destroy the defogger.

A 50/50 mix of white vinegar & water in a spray bottle is much more effective than Windex, though doesn't smell as good. Also, instead of using paper towels, use newspaper.
Yes, I'm serious. Newspaper doesn't leave streaks.

I like using vinegar/water and newspaper. It is the best window cleaner I have found. I also had the same issue with my clutch. Their is a master and slave cylinder. I replaced the master and six months later replaced the slave. My advice; do both at the same time.

Clutch still getting stuck
i checked my records... i replaced the clutch master cylinder last year... im thinking its not the slave cylinder, because the brake fluid has been at the same level, and no signs of fluid in the carpet. ive even added extra fluid and no sign of improvement. Also the spring is still engaged so its not that.
if i rest my foot, just the slightest bit on the clutch, i can feel it being grabbed, and it is pulled all the way down. i have to dig my foot behind it and pull it up, real annoying.. but most of the time it just comes back up only half way. Any suggestions? i was thinking of bleeding the brake fluid, any easy way to do that?? thanks
