so was driving today on the highway floored it, RPM's shot up car hardly speeds up.....so slipping clutch.....OK
i did it a couple more times to make sure........same thing
then his burning smell appeared, kind of like burning rubber'ish plastic'ish not 100% sure.......question - is that the slipping clutch disk or something else I'm smelling?
pulled over, put it in neutral, put it back in 1,2,3 ....... car goes no slippage at low speeds BUT clutch pedal is much softer now.....it still functions normally it seems but is much, much softer when i press it with my foot.
do i have a.........
1. need for a new clutch disk?
2. need for a new master or slave cylinder?
3. need to bleed the clutch?
i pumped and pumped the clutch pedal but it remained just as soft. however it does return to the proper position.
one thing i do not know/understand about a clutch is this, does master/slave cylinder play any role on how hard the clutch disk is pressed against the flywheel? what do the master/slave cylinder do?
