Hi, I have an 89 4runner that I'm having a clutch issue with that started 2 days ago. When I step on the clutch pedal it goes to the floor and gets stuck. I can pop it back up with my toe. It doesn't get stuck every time, but it has gotten progressively worse. It seems that when I put it in gear and attempt to let out the pedal it's engaging right at the floor..maybe an inch or so off of it...and the truck is trying to move. When I push the pedal back in with that little bit of room it left me from the floor to try and take it out of gear it doesn't disengage the clutch and therefore can't take it out of gear. However, if I pop the pedal back up with my toe and then push it back down it will disengage and I can take it out of gear/change gears. I replaced the clutch components a couple thousand miles ago and it has been driving great up until now. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

did you relace the slave and master cylinder as well?

 

No I didn't. Internal parts only. At the time it didn't seem to need it you know.

 

either you have air in the lines or it is time for a new master cylinder.

 

i've been told to replace the master and slave together. I don't know why, but it's only $27.00 for the slave so i replace them both at the same time. I know Marlin and Wabfab sell them.

 

Yeah I'd love to get em from wabfab or something but I need it now. So I'm just gonna have to go over to autozone and get them there. They have a couple different ones...is there really that big of a difference in master/slave cylinders to justify paying $20 more for one over the other or is it just a marketing scheme companies use to make you think that their product is better?

 

I rebuild mine, some sand paper and a couple rubber seals is all is to it.. Air compressor maybe to blow the plunger out.. I like doing that kind of stuff
