go to pull out in traffic last night after i just put on new intake so i jump on it a lil bit and my clutch pedal sticks to the floor and wont come back up....finally after kicking it a couple time and reaching down there it pops back up..besides car smelling like burning clutch the rest of the night i couldnt tell i diff and babied her home...woke up this morn after she cooled down and everything is fine and normal...

seems like i see alot of the 350 guys saying they had to replace something a couple times that makes theres do this??

thanks in advance

 

anybody?

 

There are some other fixes for this from what i've read...

slave/master cylinder replace

For me, I flushed the clutch completely and I haven't had any issues since the first time it happened *Crosses fingers*

 

Try doing a SEARCH under subject "clutch pedal stuck down!" Search is your friend under all subjects.

same thing happened to me in my z. it was normal after the night but then a couple of days later on the highway i got on it and just revved with the pedal on the floor. i ended up replacing clutch and flywheel.

 

You may have air in your lines. You probably have to bleed the clutch.

 

Have someone push in the clutch while you look at the slave cylinder (usually in the front of the engine bay mounted on the transmission). The slave cylinder is the size of a small candy bar with a rubber bushing/cylinder that pushes out when the clutch pedal is depressed. When the slave cylinder activates it pushes a lever on the transmission that disengages the clutch. When mine went out on my old car the cylinder would push out but would start going back in after the pedal was left depressed (the slave leaks fluid back into the master cylinder). If there is air in the lines, it shouldn't push out much, since there isn't enough hydraulic pressure. Take a look at the slave cylinder and it can give you an idea of what problem you're dealing with.

 

you cant see the slave cylinder from there becuse of the midship setup it has to be checked from the drivers side just behind the front wheel, car needs to be jacked up. regardless even if your slave and master cyclinders are both messed up the pedal should still come back up on its own theres large spring on the pedal that pushes it up and releases the pedal pressure so the clutch can engage. quite a few people have had a problem with this you should check it out or have a mechanic look at it.

 

When the clutch slave cylinder fails that's exactly what happens, the pedal won't return unless you pull it back! Once this happens it will continue to do so infrequently, just when you don't expect it. I went thru this twice with my last Z. Changing the fluid won't solve the issue as some members will recommend....

how did the slave cylinder break that caused it to do that?

 

I have had the master cylinder replaced because it was recalled anyways. This didn't fix this issue. I've had the same issue until I replaced the clutch with an ACT heavy duty pressure plate and organic street disc with stillen's lightened flywheel. This clutch kit seems to fix this. No problems now.

 

I went with a OS twin disk clutch to fix my "clutch problem". I do not like the rattle sound in neutral... But it is a great system.

 

Do whats cheap first. Re'bleed the clutch aka the slave cylinder. If that doesnt fix it, replace the slave and that should do it.

 

Slave cylinder is cheap. Change THAT first. Riverside Infiniti sells them on their eBay site...had the same problem...

 

same happened to me... i thought it was the slave/master cylinder but it turned out there was a leak in the hose
