A few days ago I was driving and my clutch stuck to the floor!! Luckily I was in my neighborhood when it happened so I just stalled out. After I came to a stop I just reached down and pulled it back up and it was fine for anothor day or two. It only seems to happen after a high rpm gear change. (Example 4k upshift to 3rd gear) Has anyone had this problem before and if so what the hell did you do to fix it? I checked for leaks in the slave cylinder and in the reservoir for the fluid and I didn't see any so I don't know what else to do!! Thanks for any info!!

possible master cyl fluid bypass. are you sure it only happens on a high rpm shift. or is it more associated with how fast your depressing the clutch pedal?

Check the connecting arm from the Clutch master Cylinder. It is that arm that connects your Clutch Pedal to the Clutch Master Cylinder through your firewall. It is in the shape of a tuning fork. One side may have snapped. Very easy to replace. You will have to purchase a new Clutch Master Cyliner if this is the case. If you do, you will need new Brake fuid to go along with it. If you have any questions, IM me.

Richard, chill dude no need to get personal with people. Especially when your not helping to solve the problem.
