1998 volkswagen golf clutch need replacement?

When I press the clutch pedal it's stay all the way down, but there is not action and can not engage the trans. Would it be the pressure plate or something else? When it stop working I was driving and try to change gear, there was a noise like a "pop" and the clutch pedal when all the way to the floor.

1998 Golf is not hydraulic operation. Could be clutch cable as mentioned, a fractured actuator rod lever at the end cap of the transaxle, or a bad plate/rod combination.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

In a manual 2001 Hyundai Accent, the clutch cable could be adjusted. The adjustment point is on the cable 'pad' where it enters the firewall in the engine compartment.

To adjust, the slack or free play must be decreased. This is done by turning the adjusting nut clockwise. Check back by pressing on the clutch pedal to your preference.

Good luck and thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: no pressure clutch pedal goes straight to the floor 1988 holden r

If hydraulic actuated mechanism, loss of fluid, defective master cylinder or slave cylinder at the clutch. Missing pin or other part between slave cylinder and clutch arm. Loose or broken slave cylinder mounting. Missing pin or broken part between pedal and master cylinder. If mechanical linkage, look for broken components or missing pins at moving joints. If you tried to shift into gear with engine running, you may have damaged the transmission gears.

Are you sure the clutch disc is installed in the correct direction?
Admittedly, I haven't seen the clutch disc for a Mitsubishi 3000GT, but I have seen my share in many makes of vehicles.

The clutch disc may be one of those that will install in either direction. Some clutch discs are made so that the inner hub with springs, can be installed towards the crankshaft, or towards the tranny.

2001 golf 1.8 turbo new clutch

When your driving down the road, and you step on the gas, the engine gets faster, but the car don't. The clutch pedal disengages near the very top at this point, instead of near the bottom like a new clutch would.

Replaced volkswagen chico 2005 clutch now there is no pressure

Are you referring to the clutch pedal? If so you may need to readjust the clutch cable. You do this by turning the clutch cable in a tightening direction while holding the lower nut that is also on the clutch cable. Try loosening it up and see if that brings the pedal back.

Hi, I have a problem with my 1996 vw golf's transmission. The clutch pedal is stays on the floor, and is disengaged. could you give me some direction as to what my problem is?

If you check your fluid in the clutch master cylinder and there is none that means you have a leak. Make sure you add brake fluid. Pull the clutch pedal up by hand and keep pumping it until you have pedal, than top it off with more fluid. This should give you pedal until you fix it unless the leak is so bad you can't get pedal. There is two places that leak. The clutch master cylinder or the clutch slave. You should be able to see where it is leaking after pumping the pedal.

Have problems with changeing clutch cable vw golf 3. Can not remove old cable from pedal.

Disconnect the cable at the transmission side first then you can remove the cable stay at the pedal assembly. If you have an automatic clutch tensioner, step on the pedal first then attach two securing wings on the cable boot housing to lock up the cable from the lever.

Clutch rattle

this sounds like an adjustment issue. you did not mention the mileage...The clutch is released by a bearing, this release bearing needs to come back off of the fingers of the clutch pressure place, early wear and noise happens.

Near the end of the clutch life, you may find that you cannot release any more, if your model is adjustable.

Start with proper clutch release adjustment.

it could be a couple of things...one your clutch disengage switch is not working...(located under the dash on the clutch pedal), or your starter could have gone out...(try hitting the starter with a hammer on the end of it) or lastly your motor could be seized...(new motor or overhaul needed)
