2002 ecotec clutch problems
Monday, October 19, 2009 3:47 PM
my clutch just stopped working. pedal falls to floor no pressure whats so ever. i pulled master cylinder off and the medal are moves very freely and does not spit any fluid out at all.

then took this piece off


and to my assumtion the end off it should push out so it engauges the tranns clutch. this is the end im talking about


but it is stuck and wont budge. should it or no?

but i stuck my finger in the hole of the tranny and there is a button in there that moves.

pretty much im confused on the whole deal dont want to spend money on stuff i dont need any help with be very appreciated.

Those "buttons" are check valves, not unlike an airhose coupler. When you assemble the parts, the valves retract and allow fluid flow. GM did this to save time in assembly...the clutch components are all shipped "pre-bled" (fluid filled) from the manufacturers, and all they need to do on the line is click them together, no bleeding needed.

Can you tell...do you have a fluid leak somewhere? See if clutch fluid is coming out somewhere when you stroke the pedal. Let me know what you find.

When you try to bleed, does more fluid pour out of the bottom of the transmission?

If not, and you can't find any other leaks, and you are SURE you're using the correct bleeding procedure...then the most likely item is your clutch master cylinder. The slave cylinder in the transmission is a bitch to replace, and should not be an issue if it's not leaking.
