i'm starting to wonder now if I have a flywheel, pressure plate or master cylinder problem. Hopefully, it's not more than one of them gone bad but, When accelerating and shifting through the gears the other day, the pedal felt as if it wasn't returning. My wife called me yesterday and described the same problem on her way home from work. Then, this morning, she said the clutch was slipping when she went to take off and she had a difficult time getting it to move, followed by the same strange feel of no resistance as you're letting the pedal out. The car has had this really jerky shudder as you let the clutch out when you are moving the car from a standstill in either 1st or reverse gear but not knowing any better, I just thought it was normal for these cars. Now, after reading in the forums about problems with DMFs, pressure plates and clutches, I'm starting to wonder whether I need to pull the tranny and replace the whole engine-to-transmission engagement system
or if I may be lucky enough to not need all of that. It seems to me that the bad jerking when taking off and the clutch pedal not feeling right are probably not related. One seems hydraulic and the other seems mechanical. Comments? Suggestions?
