As the title states, clutch pedal is being a team player, and being sucked to the floor, getting stuck, making my car impossible to drive, etc.

Basically what's happening is if I put any weight on the pedal at all without pushing it in the whole way it just sucks itself to the floor and the clutch remains engaged.

Also if on the way out if I lift my foot too slow or let it stop at all, it just stops in place, and the clutch fully engages instantly.

However if I pump it in quickly and let it back out straight away it does what it should opens and engages the clutch without getting stuck or sucked in.

Any help on the situation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you just replace it with a standard one? or was the one you replaced reinforced to make it stronger? Are you running a heavy clutch? next would be check the hydralics in the system master and slave. Quick test maybe you should do is unbolt the slave from the box and push it in by hand all the way and it should pop back out on its own if you let go if it doesnt sign that faulty slave.

Next after those two would be the painful one of having to see if your fork or pivot ball arent broken.

I replaced it with a nismo one looks exactly the same just has a few more spot welds.

Yeah the clutch is heavy, snapped the first pedal bracket hence the new one.

I'll try the test on the slave now, Cheers.

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
