hi,
started my 98 r this am and noticed my clutch sticky...what i mean is it felt different when i stepped on the clutch not much resistance as normal. it was difficult when i put it in reverse and then into first. once i started driving it felt better in each gear but clutch still feels different.

has any one had this issue. what may be the problem??

 

i have this issue but no clue as to what is wrong, i bled the lines, changed fluid, clutch engages fine, gotta wait until tuesday, if anything is found out, ill let ya know

 

check for leaks at the master and slave cylinders. Thats more than likely the case...

 

yep check master and slaves. when u change them, change both at the same time.

 

would a bad master and slave cause a squeaking noise when you push the clutch in, loud enough to hear outside of the car? i noticed it this morning

 

sure it could. but a normally operating setup can also.

 

Mine squeaks on both my tegs and the master cylinders were both replaced. It could just be a lack of grease on the shaft that goes into the master cylinder.

Best bet to tell if it's failing is to look and see if there is fluid seeping out near the shaft. Usually it's the seal that fails and fluid starts passing by the piston.
