You need to check and see how much fluid is in the reservoir. I suspect it is low and this may be a sign that it is also overheating.

SOURCE: clutch pedal noise in hot weather

Pivot of pedal srm needs Lubrication. Heat expands bushings and such. If it is the pedal return spring , lub the springs where they hook on each end.

SOURCE: when clutch pedal depressed clutch does not move

in a car this 'new' prob. hydraulic. check clutch fluid reservoir- should be near brake fluid res.- will be smaller- if fluid is low, or empty- may be clutch master cylinder, or clutch 'slave' cylinder is leaking. check for leak under car, should smell like 'brake' fluid. if your brake master- both reservoirs are to the full line, and there's fluid under car, close to where clutch master is located, or near front of , or side, of tranny- then it's a clutch problem of some kind (as if you didn't already know this!!) relatively new vehicle (by my standards!), should have hydraulic clutch.
do you mean- when you depress the clutch pedal, it goes to the floor, and you can't shift into any gear??
should have asked this first! front wheel drive or rear? i'll guess front wheel drive. may have hyd. fluid leak in master or slave. (apologize for 'terms', but as 'male & female connectors', it's traditional, non-racist and non-sexist nomenclature!!) gotta' be careful, in the 21st century!! if there are, as i stated previously, 2 similar reservoirs, close to each other, then you prob. have hydraulic clutch. may need 'master' rebuilt, or replaced, or 'slave' replaced-it can be rebuilt, but prob not cost effective!
sorry to be 'long-winded/ texted', good luck!

Ford Ranger PX clutch pedal falls to the floor when towing then returns to normal after a couple of days when not towing.

One of two things is wrong with your truck. Either the hydraulic clutch has a worn component that needs to be replaced or the clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced. If this failure only occurs while towing. I suspect the clutch is slipping, heat from the pressure plate is heating the fluid inside the hydraulic clutch and causing it to drop to the floor. Some diagnostics is needed to confirm.

Put a cluth in a 1991 toyota mr2 turbo 2.0 and its still grinding when I shift gears.. what can I do to solvve my problem

have you replaced your fly wheel and release bearing when you changed your clutch disc?

if yes, then replace your transmission fluid.
also, if you know hot to adjust your clutch release, adjust it. adjust it in a way that you need to draw back your clutch pedal a little higher for the clutch to complete engage.

here are some ways to adjust your clutch.

1. for clutch using clutch cable. open your hood, locate for the transmision, and there you can see a cable that connects the transmision and the clutch pedal. loosen in up a little.
2. for hydrovac clutch with self correcting features. just pull your clutch pedal away from the floor for a few seconds and its done.
3. for hyrovac without self correction. manually adjust the push rod (metal rod that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch master)

2000 BMW 323CI clutch smell

The smell of a burned clutch is one that permeates the car for quite sometime after the incident. It may take as long as two weeks for the smell to alleviate.

Meanwhile if the car is shifting normally and not slipping I would say the clutch is ok.

After being in traffic for more than an hour the clutch stops working. If I shut off the vehicle and let it cool down a while the clutch works again. What would cause this? It actually has a relatively...

Sounds like your clutch job didnt include a good cleaning/machining of the flywheel. They glaze up from overheating and when you get them hot *(like from being in lots of stop and go traffic) the clutch "fades" or slips excessively. The bad news is....the more fading that occurs, the more glazed the flywheel gets.

Also, if you have a hydraulic clutch setup the clutch master and/or slave cylinders may be getting old and tired and starting to leak under constant use.

If you have a cable clutch you may just need to adjust the freeplay to take some of the slack out of the cable.

Land rover clutch. can't get into gear

it's an odd occurance but it sounds like the hydraulic fluid in the clutch lined may have boiled. it's usually okay once it's cooled down, but if the pedal feels weird you may want to bleed your line.
