    once again clutch help...(long)

    well after a hard time getting a loan i finally got one in order to buy a GTi but now i have to get to the hard part... fixing my GL.. about 4 months ago i posted a problem with my golf... clutch pedal had no pressure and sticks to the floor board... many of the VW techs on here told me to diagnose the Clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder.. so yesterday i got around to it... took apart both and bench bled them.. both seemed to be working properly.. so i re-installed it and bleed the system hoping a nice clean and a proper bleeding procedure would help.. no deal... the clutch has a little bit more pressure but still no engadgment and still sticks to the floor... also there are no leaks coming from the slave cylinder nor the master... i then took the rubber cap off the tranny located right above the slave cylinder to see if the rod from the slave cylinder was moving when the pedal was depressed and it was... about an inch of movment.. im not sure if this is within spec or not??? can any one help me further diagnose my problem?

    i also started the car in first gear to see if there was any movement and there was the car jumped and ran in first gear, which to me means the clutch disc is still intact, could this be my pressure plate?? any input is greatly appriciated. thanks guys

    What year is your GL? I don't know if this would help, but I've got clutch slave from an O2J that you could borrow to compare against yours.

    Here's another thought. It sounds like you've got the gear to pressurize your hydraulics. If that's the case, does the pedal rise up to its normal resting place when the system's under pressure? If so, I would suspect you're losing pressure somewhere, possibly from the boot on the slave cylinder.

    That's my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

      had a problem similar to that on a non-vw. the fork was bent, but don't know if vw use a fork against the release bearing.

        this means usually the clutch disk has become seperated and has jammed the pressure plate (giving you the no pedal ) and its locked jammed on so you cannot disengage it . verry common on 05 pd's but i have seen it on older units as well . if this is the issue you need to replace the clutch
