Hi... I was on the way to Paris to see Iron Maiden someone tried to kill me by throwing things at the car as I was driving along at 110kmph... I slammed the brakes/clutch on, so he was no longer next to me..luckily there was no-one behind.. did an emergency stop and on recovering my composure realised I couldn't change gear... Managed to limp home by changing gear with the motor off and then starting it "in gear" The "breakdown" guy said he thought it was the slave cylinder.. Now the question. Is this feasible bearing in mind I've NO fluid loss and no problems beforehand? AND.. Is it a possible DIY and what gear would we need? The car is a 2005 XC90 2.4 D5 S AWD 163hp Manual HELP!!! Thanks
It is possible because when you are in panic mode you could have developed enough strength to blow the piston seals in the clutch master cylinder ( the pressure seal at the front of the piston will fail and allow the oil back into the reservoir )
being a 2005 model and presumably nothing done to the clutch system any extra pressure on old seals will cause them to fail
That is where I would start to fault find
Why would you slam the clutch pedal is my question?

i have a ktm 125 wich all ktms have hydraulic cluthcs and i have the same problem as all these fellas even when im riding it just sucks right down all the fluid reply to me on [email protected] ok thanks fellas
SOURCE: clutch cylinder inside car is it broke
you have to bleed the air out of it. If there is not fluid leaking from the master cylinder on the firewall.it can leak on the inside of car or the out side if the master cylinder is bad.first make sure the reservoir stays full then open the bleeder on slave cylinder. this is called gravity bleeding. once fluid comes out, tighten bleeder, pump pedal one time loosen bleeder while holding clutch pedal down and then tighten. do this repeatedly until no air comes out. you can pump pedal several times,then hold and bleed however you like but I have better luck with individual pumps. just make sure that the lines hooked to slave cylinder are tight and there are no air leaks. and that the line does not go below the slave cylinder because sometimes air gets trapped in the lowest part of system.
SOURCE: new clutch not working properly really could use some help
My best guess on this, assuming that the clutch master is working and it has no air remaining in the system is that you either have the wrong throwout bearing in there or that it is installed incorrectly. Also, rare but can happen is that if the pressure plate assembly is a rebuilt one, the face has been cut too far and clearances are off.
Obviously, check everything external before taking it apart again, but that's where I think you will need to go.
Testimonial: "thanks did have some issues installing throw out bearing so maybe that is my problem"
SOURCE: Clutch pedal does not disengage clutch
If the car hasn't been driven for a while it could be corrosion on the fork but I think that is unlikely. I think you are right about the release bearing being jammed in the spring. If the truck has quite high mileage, it probably means a clutch job.
SOURCE: I installed a new clutch and now I cannot change
if you have bled the system properly,the only answer is you have fitted the friction plate on backwards.....(the word front,printed,on the metal centre goes toward you/facing you.)check to see if you have full travel on the actuating lever when pedal is fully depressed....
