No Clutch

[Boostkid]

OK. So i've been driving my car lately and and parked it outside my house 2 days ago. Haven't driven it since. anyways, I go out there this morning and put my foot on the clutch pedal to start it, NO CLUTCH. there's no feeling. the pedal is only being forced back by a spring, and a soft feeling one at that. all the way to the floor and still no clutch engage / disengage.

can't shift gear and therefore car will be sitting where it is till i get it towed I guess.

car : 1986 pintara gxe (R31)

I suspect the clutch itself for now as it has been ridden a little bit lately (was still getting used to the accelerator when changing gears) and I am guessing that the clutch is the stock standard almost 20 yr old one.

any way to find out if it's the clutch itself or if it's the cable or whatever?

thanks.

do these cars have a cable or hydrolic system?

it most defenietly will be the cable. ive neever heard of a clutch pressure plate compltly dieing.

its a hydraulic system..

your master cylinder, slave cylinder or clutch line has busted itself quite likely.. get somebody to look at it.

or just trace the clutch cylinder all the way to gearbox and see if you can spot anything obvious.

When I bled my system incorrectly, it did the same thing. It actually fell to the floor though. Didn't come back up. Definately the place to start.

thanks guys. my dad got home and knew the fix

it had no bloody fluid in the system lol

obviously leaking slowly somewhere

but now the pedal feels totally different!

clutch doesn't engage as early as it used to. air in the system?
