Currently I cannot shift gears on my manual mk3. Clutch pedal falls all the way to the floor without resistance and won't return. Clutch will not disengage so I can't switch gears unless the engine is off.
This now the third time I've been in this scenario with this car in the last 5 years. What do you think might be causing the failure? I usually notice the clutch not fully returning a few days prior to it completely failing, which it did again this time.
Previously the issue was fixed by replacing the clutch master and slave cylinders. It's a decent amount of work though, and I don't like throwing money at parts, not to mention the inconvenience of not being able to shift beyond 1st gear without turning the engine off.
