Over the weekend, I bled the system, and ran completely new brake fluid in. No leaks in the cylinders or line.


I found out what was wrong when I was driving home This monday.

I noticed that the pedal wasn't in the right place. I used to be able to rest my left foot on the false pedal. Well, I noticed that the clutch pedal was hitting my foot, and it hadn't been like that before. I started pulling on it with my foot, and I was able to move it.

Weird.

Curiosity got the best of me, and I was messing around with it, --- and it broke off... in traffic, mind you. I was able to reach a garage only having to stop twice in traffic. It's not easy getting the car going from a complete stop with no clutch pedal, lemme tell you.

Apparently the pedal was partially broken where it mounts to the car, and so much of the motion of pressing it down was being wasted though the torn metal, and I was forced to push the pedal substantially further than normal so the hydraulics would kick in.

The pedal didn't exhibit abnormal freeplay, it just didn't even begin disengaging the clutch until it was practically touching the floor.
