Q: Clutch slave cylinder causes clutch pedal malfunction
After picking up my car (50,000 miles), I was driving home on the highway and the clutch pedal went all the way down to the floorboard. This happened three times with I was downshifting on exit ramps. This happened again last week and I limped to the dealership. They reported that it was my clutch going out and they wouldn’t even look at the car. In researching, I learned I’m among a lot of other drivers having this clutch slave cylinder problem. Could you please tell me what to do to get this fixed?
