Here is the incident..

I got in my car this morning and pressed my clutch pedal in.I started my car and when I let off the pedal it stayed to the floor and didnt disengage. I leave my car in reverse with the ebrake on when it is parked. The car was in reverse so it started moving and stalled when i pressed the brake. I started it up again and it came out of reverse but the clutch pedal stayed down. After a few mins of playing with it, it came back up and worked fine after that. When it screwed up it was about 45 degrees outside and when it started working the car was at op temp.

This has happened 2 times before and a buddy of mine replaced my clutch master cylinder about 3 weeks ago and we placed a heat sleeve over the braided clucth line to prevent the header heat from cooking the line. He is saying it could possibly be the slave cylinder.

If anyone has had this happen to them or heard about this, let me know what you or the person with the problem did to fix it.

I would like to say its the slave not working properly but its not leaking, i would pump the clutch several times before starting the car if its cold and see if it helps you from having this problem again.

The solution:

We dropped the tranny and found the slave bearings smashed and the spring cracked.

New slave and it was back on the road
