Clutch or Clutch Master Cylinder?

[240dreams]

Alright, I'm getting sick of this. I just had my clutch put in on Tuesday of this week. I got it back and it drove great for the first day. It rained for the next 2 days and I felt light slippage. I thought it was b/c of the rain. After the 3rd day, I took it on the highway to visit my cuz and when I gave it some gas to merge, I didn't go anywhere-almost caused an accident. Then at the next light, I was stuck. I had it in gear and it wouldn't go. Next came that funny fume that makes u dizzy. I called the tow service and now my car is in the shop. I'm sure the clutch installation was bad or something. I can let the car idle in gear and all that stuff that comes with a burnt clutch. Now is this problem a clutch, clutch master cylinder, or clutch slave cylinder? Someone help me plz.

The odor of burning clutch is not a good sign of a successful clutch job. The toughest part is finding out what the problem is. I'm thinking it could either be the clutch master or slave cylinder like you mentioned. Did you thoroughly bleed the clutch system after the clutch job? It's not required, but highly recommended.

i didn't do it. Pepboys did. It should have been done i guess.

if you have even a little respect for your car's well-being, dont let pepboys touch your car.

Try rebleeding your clutch hydraulic system and check for leaks. Then you can try adjusting freeplay. If that doesn't work, I'd take it somewhere more reputable than Pepboys.
