Hello friends,
I pulled out of a parking spot today and as I depressed the clutch pedal from first gear to stop at a stop sign, I heard a snap/pop sound and the clutch hit the floor.
A friend helped me push it back into a parking spot.
Here's the first assessment:
I cannot find any leaking fluid anywhere. There isn't any in the street where it occurred. There is not any fluid under the pedal assembly inside the car. I cannot see any fluid leaking on or around the slave cylinder or master cylinder.
I have a stainless steel clutch line and an SBR 3500 (ACT 2600 equivalent).
The clutch fork does not appear to be broken, but I can move it around freely as the slave is not providing any resistance.
The master cylinder is empty.
Where did the fluid go?
What could have snapped or popped?
I don't imagine the fluid could have slowly ran out, as I believe air would have slowly leaked into the system and caused a softening over time, as opposed to an abrupt 'pop' and loss of pressure.
Help.
