Help no Pressure in Clutch Pedal!!!

[Projekt Tuner]

Hey guys I hope you all can help since I'm sitting here in the dealership right now.... I brought my car in, there is no pressure in the clutch pedal.. which means i can't get the car into any gears.. the only way to get any pressure, is to pump the pedal about 4 - 5 times then the pressure builds and i can get the car into gear. If i pump it then let it sit for a few seconds the pressure goes away and i have to re-pump... Any help yall??? I just had the brakes replaces yesterday and this happened on the way home.. HELP ME!!!

i would have to say a faulty cluth line

or maybe lack of brake fluid

Clutch and brakes share fluid - something went horribly awry with your brake job.

Any suggestions what to tell the service advisor here to fix it???

Yea how about..... "Look my car isn't right....fix it"

hahaha i know what you all mean, the thing is.... and please don't hold this against me... but i work here at the dealership so most of these people are my friends lol... yeah evil car salesman here.... but i can't just cop an atitude with these people unfortunately... one of the other salesman here said possibly there is air in the lines.. would that make sense?

Maybe there is air in the lines or something, not bled correctly? (shrug)

 

[Projekt Tuner]

lol how do you bleed the lines correctly? I'll just go out to the car myself and do it.. lol

 

[peepsalot]

haha, I never done it, so I don't know the details. I just know that can cause problems like this, because when you press the pedal, instead of the brake fluid transmitting your force, much of your effort just goes into compressing the bubbles of air in the lines.

You may want to bleed your tranny/clutch master.

There's usually a special procedure if you have ABS, and we all (MSP's) do. If'n you're at the dealership there should be someone there known as "the Mechanic", sometimes referred to as a "tech". Please have them do it right!
