YACT: Clutch Stuck

[dbk]

The clutch in my Civic seems to be stuck. The car turns on. However, once I engage the clutch it stays down and doesn't pop up unless I manually do it myself. I can't shift into any gears because of this. The car drove fine last night, actually this morning(~2AM). I talked to one of my friends and he says I need to check for leaks. I don't think my car has a hydraulic clutch, so I don't think that applies. Any help would be appreciated.

Its because you are out of fluid in the clutch system, or it has a lot of air bubbles in it.

Fluid out or your cable broke.

I'm not sure about 'newer' cars (I'm old school) but it sounds like some kind of return spring may have broke/came loose. Possibly a cable is broke??

I'd virtually guarantee that you have a hydraulic clutch. And would guess your problem to be the master or slave cylinder.

If you are sure its not a hydraulic clutch, sounds more like the pressure plate.

Actually, I think you're right. I'll go check for a leak tomorrow. Thanks
