Sticky Clutch Pedal on Track

bcmr · 06-01-2019, 06:10 PM

Hi Everyone,

After about 12min on the track, my clutch pedal gets sticky then just sticks to the floor eventually. Once I let the car cool down a bit, it comes back to normal.

Is this a CSC failure issue or something else? I am running stock DOT 3 fluid that is 65k miles old

id start with changing all fluid to dot4 and if your issues persists its probably csc. If you don't have this driving normally i'm betting fluid.

Flush and bleed with new fluid first. If that still doesn't work you probably have a suspect CSC or CMC. If there's fluid on the ground it's probably the CSC. If there's no fluid then it's probably the CMC.

Fluid flush and wrap insulation around the clutch line down by the exhaust.
