Possible problems per dealer fluid is full
Master cylinder went bad
slave cylinder went bad
clutch itself has a problem
Any ideas.

 

i would think the clutch was not bled correctly

 

I don't think it is a bleed problem. Done at a dealer after hours.

 

So it happened all of a sudden or over a period of time. Is there and DOT fluid leaking? Was there any work done to the car recently?

 

Talking to repair guy at the dealer. Most likely clip on the clutch rod came off since it was so sudden. Or clutch master cylinder went bad. Slave third choice.
Clutch master cylinder is a dealer item out of Reno.
Slave is available localy.
Point of interest clutch master cylinder is the same for 2.0 2.2 and 2.4 which does not show up on the cross reference books.
We are going to fix one way or the other tomorrow will advise what we found.

 

Yeah I am betting its the master cyl. I just bought on this week because I am having issues with my clutch...did the dealer say how much they were going to charge to install it?

 

I am doing with the help of Hayes repair manual.

 

Man I am still on the fence about doing it myself. I have tried to bleed that f'ing clutch myself and no dice and the stealership charged me 135 to just bleed the clutch lastime I worked on it so we will see

 

Looks like the clutch blew out the clutch master cylinder.
took about 2 and half hours and bled the clutch with no power bleed in about 10min.
Going to put together an after market stand alone clutch master cylinder because I don't want to do this every year or 30,000 miles.

 

No power bleed??

 

My son had me working the clutch and he was doing some jerry rig thing and got it done in about 10min. I have not idea what he was doing. It has been working fine. Took it to a cobalt cruise and gave it a real workout.

 

I can't figure mine out to save my life. It's hard getting into gear for the first minute or so on start up. After that I can move in any gear easily and even into first gear on stops. Tried vacuum bleeding and that didn't do much. I know its Not my cables. I know GM screwed something up when I had warranty work done. Something is wrong with my clutch hydraulics.
