clutch pedal stuck all the way down...

[ehD]

the hose that passes the clutch fluid broke.. its a coiled metal hose.. $256. supposedly caused by broken engine mount, $430. Sigh... will the pain stop? I've only had this car for 8 days and already 5 of them have been in the shop on 2 occasions. hopefully things get better... :ah:

Did you get a PPI?

[ehD]

unfortunately i didn't...

now after they fixed the hose and the engine mount and test drove it the slave cylinder broke again. they cited that the clutch was burned out and is causing everything to break, costing 1800 to repair...

now seriously... can a bad clutch do this. i'm gonna go get a second opinion cause this is ridiculous imo...

I wouldn't really think a worn out clutch could cause either the slave or master cylinder to fail...

Unless it's affecting the reset of the pedal... letting the piston return too far... although I think in that direction the cylinder would be OK.

I'm at a loss... I don't know what would cause it to blow a brand new slave cylinder... but if the clutch is gone... you're gonna need a new one. Saw the part for around $400 something... can't cost too much to have installed. Make them show you the old clutch, tho.

yeah i called up another shop and they said there's really no way a burned out clutch can break the slave cylinder. i'm not sure why they said it's not driveable...

right now im considering driving the car to another shop.. or at least having it towed. i feel like i'm being totally ripped off despite the shop being recommended by several people.
