Clutch help!!!

autoelf92 · May 22nd, 2008, 03:35 PM

Well, i know i will probably get made fun of for asking this but what is going on with my clutch? I have to pull the clutch almost all the way up to get it to catch. I learned how to drive stick on this baby and i think i might have burnt the clutch out of it, help?

^pull it up? you mean get underneath it with your foot and pull?

autoelf92 · May 30th, 2008, 06:42 AM

Well, it has a little play like that, but i mean i have to pull my foot up all the way when i am driving like push in to change gears, then let up on it.

Unless I've been doing it wrong(and i dont think I'm wrong), I always take my foot off the clutch after changing a gear

so what your saying is that before the clutch connects and moves the tires at all the clutch has to be all the way up and not depressed at all? wouldnt it just die then? i have no idea what is wrong lol

WLJohnson05 · May 30th, 2008, 11:04 PM

i think he must not be used to it bc i think they are all like that that...its not letting it out all the way but it is higher than some vehicles

ya same here, how many miles does ur stang got since u got a v6 2000, and do u have the factory clutchalso?

Safi · June 4th, 2008, 12:35 AM

I have 106,600 miles on it. And i dont know if its factory clutch or not since i just bought the car a couple months ago. The previous owner was a senior in high school and i can tell put a lot of work on it (intake, ECU chip, tires, etc.) , so it might have some aftermarket clutch, but im not sure

pushing it in an inch doesnt sound good for it. push it all the way in to completely disengage the clutch.
