clutch won't engage
Just had the master and slave cylinder replaced, everything was fine. Then today, I'm pulling into my parking garage, in first gear, let the clutch out and it won't grab at all, engine just spins. Clutch is gone? Any ideas?

Re: clutch won't engage
Most likely the clutch plate is gone. How many miles has it been since the last clutch job?

It's been at least 10,000 miles, since I've owned the car for about a year. Before that I don't know.

Have somone look under the car while you are trying to press the clutch in, see if the clutch slave cylinder is pushing on the clutch fork. If not perhaps something happened with one of the new parts you installed, did you use OEM?

Re: clutch won't engage
Well somebody said something about the clutch needing to be adjusted, so I did that and test drove it, and it now seems fine. Guess we'll see. I did use OEM parts for the slave/master.
