This happens only occassionally and seemingly only in the 1st minutes when I move the car. It doesn't matter if the car is warm or cold.

I'll be driving in 1st and at around 3000RPM ready to switch into 2nd. I'll completely push the clutch pedal to the floor, and the clutch won't disengage for a few moments. It'll continue to hold the revs, then it'll slowly let the revs go down. It also keeps 1st gear engaged and there's the usual resistance you'd get trying to shift from 1st to 2nd without depressing the clutch. :thinking:

This is not some sort of weird emissions thing because it's sporadic and had never happened in the past. It'll do this for a few times and then disappear.

Is this pressure plate related, or perhaps some sort of pressure issue somewhere? It's not reoccuring enough to be a real problem, just an extreme annoyance.

TIA

 

could be low on clutch fluid... and when you use the clutch a few times, it warms up and expands, eliminating the problem?

Just a guess, but either way, its probably worth your effort to check the clutch fluid.

 

Alright thanks.

 

It's where it's supposed to be, and I checked for leaking of the slave and master cylinders and it's fine. :thinking:
