When you depress the clutch pedal all the way down the clutch brake stops the input shaft from rotating. This allows the transmission to be put in gear. Never depress the clutch fully ( all the way to the floor) when the truck is moving in any gear. The clutch brake is about the size of a compact disc and cannot stop the input shaft when the truck is moving in gear. This will destroy the clutch brake.
Your clutch cable snapped. It should be an easy fix.
step on the clutch and hold it to the floor clutch should stay disengaged for as long as you hold it down
I have a later Topaz, but it should be the same....It is a pretty clean job. Simply sit in the car, put your foot under the clutch pedal, & it will pull towards you slightly, you may hear a click. Depress the pedal to the floor, & your done. It may take a couple of 'adjustments. If nothing happens, you're out of room for adjustment.
You should not attempt to replace the clutch yourself unless you have considerable mechanical skills. In this case, the problem is most likely that the spring holding the clutch pedal in place is broken.
With the engine off and the parking brake set, pull the pedal up by hand. depress it again. Have a helper look under the car and under the hood, watching all of the linkages for the clutch system if it is a manual clutch. If it is fluid driven, check the fluid in the clutch cylinder. If all of these areas are ok then the problem is a possible bad slave cylinder.
You've blown a clutch hose by the sound of it, or you've got a leak in the clutch master or slave cylinder. Either way, without clutch fluid, the clutch pedal wont come off the floor and the clutch will be disengaged. Any half decent mechanic should be able to figure out what the issue is without charging and arm and a leg.
To bleed the clutch: -With the bleeder valve closed, depress the clutch pedal to the floor. -Slip your foot off the pedal and let it fly back to the top (DON'T be gentle). -Repeat several times (5 is a good number) -Depress the pedal to the floor, hold it there, and have a helper open the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder. -Allow the fluid to run out. -When the fluid stops flowing from the valve, shut the valve and release the pedal. Repeat as needed. -Be sure to keep the reservoir full, a third person to watch the reservoir is a very good asset to have.
my clutch went to the floor what happened?
It's called: Your clutch is working.
