What did you do to your mk7 today?

Slave cylinder gave out? assume aftermarket clutch wit an IS38, mods?

Same thing happened to my neighbors GLI about a month ago. It was his clutch line bleeder block o rings he reused on a clutch install.

Thanks. I immediately thought crankwalk but I'm optimistic that its something stupid with the clutch lines.

Nah. I doubt it's catastrophic. Could be something like a tob, since you said it happened on an aggressive shift.

 

[tmw2442]

Fingers crossed just bleeder block failure or a fatigued clutch line that went. But if nothing is obvious upon a detailed inspection, battery tray out.... I would get the free play on the crank measured just to make sure before I dove into removing the trans and hoping its a TOB.

@jawndropper Did you ever try to pick the clutch pedal up off the floor?

I did lift it by hand with the car off. The pedal just slowly sagged back down from wherever I released it. It seemed to be actually disengaging/engaging though. The car started back up like normal while the clutch was all the way down.

Dumb question, but did you try starting it in gear with the clutch down? The clutch switch should let it try even in gear. Just make sure the path in front of the car is clear. It sounds like the tob crapped out. Should be an inspection hole on the trans. Look for brake fluid seeping out. Best of luck man.

Sounds like it's not crank walk...again fingers crossed...if you do need a TOB find the all metal contstuction one from Luk and not the two piece plastic...

Hell yeah it does

 

[JacobAllison]

Oil changed, transmission oil changed, brake fluid changed, washed it, installed the rear mudflaps. Only thing I've got left to do is diff oil and rear swaybar

Nice. If you can, do the sway bar on ramps so everything is under load when you tighten it down.

The old saying in racing is it has to look good from 50 ft away at 50 mph.
