Ok so I can shift gears without even pressing in the clutch! Even when the car is off or on. And when its in the gear and I press the gas, it just revs like how it would in neutral. Also I been having issues with air in my clutch line. I bled it once however it went back to being a soft spongy clutch. I just had a clutch oem replacement about half a year ago. Covered under warranty because it burned out the week i got mine off the lot used. I do admit that I push my car pretty hard here and there. But I shift perfectly and never overrev so I know my clutch isnt burned. Either something snapped or is damaged in my clutch, pressure plate or transmission. When this happened to my car during driving, i diddnt hear anything snap or break. My clutch isn't disengaging i guess..I heard from others that this is a slave cylinder issue.. and that its covered under warranty. I have put only 8k miles on my car since I got it.
Im guessing this is a known issue with the car. Every Gen owner tells me it's the slave because the exact same thing happened to them with the same symptoms.
Hold on so if it was the slave cylinder that went out, i shouldn't be able to move the shifter? Or is it supposed to be like that. Because although I can move the shifter without pressing the clutch pedal, its not engaging in any of the gears.
Slave cylinder issues and air in the lines makes the clutch fail to disengage - meaning the clutch & pressure plate are never removed from each other. This causes the opposite to what you're experiencing - you will NOT be able to change gears with the clutch down and the shifter becomes next to impossible to move when the engine is running.
I'm having my slave cylinder replaced right now because it was leaking and finally decided not to change gears.... made my drive home and loading onto the flatbed... interesting
Sounds like the return is toast - there's no pressure coming back from the spring plate, so you're getting weak or no engagement.
In either case, with the slave cylinder being inside the trans bell housing, the repair will require the same prep labor (removing exhaust components, opening up the housing, lots of bleeding & fiddly replacement bits inside the transmission housing). Once it's opened up, it should be pretty clear what the problem is. Good time to replace the slave cylinder and clutch lines too if there's any signs of fluid collecting.
You cannot bleed the slave with good results with the nose in the air.
