When did the clutch slave cylinder go out?
On to the story… Last Tuesday my clutch slave cylinder went out. I pushed the clutch in and started the car and it jumped forward (transmission was in first gear). So I put it in neutral and started it and with the clutch completely to the floor I was able to get in gear and get going.
Why does the clutch stop working on my focus?
My girlfriends focus the clutch has stopped working. The clutch pedal goes up and down but it won’t go into gear. The brake/clutch fluid is very low however the brakes are OK. I’m surprised there is no level warning sensor on this car. Anyway I topped up the reservoir but it has not made any difference. What seems to be the problem?
What happens when you put the clutch to the floor?
I pushed the clutch in and started the car and it jumped forward (transmission was in first gear). So I put it in neutral and started it and with the clutch completely to the floor I was able to get in gear and get going. The clutch would go from unengaged to completely engaged in about an inch of pedal travel, it was quite difficult to drive.
How do you line up a new clutch?
Installed the new clutch, note the block of wood under the oil pan, supporting the weight of the engine. My kit didn’t come with a clutch alignment tool so I found a socket the same diameter as the hole in the clutch (where the transaxle input shaft goes) and used that to line up the clutch in the center of the pressure plate.

Can you drive a car with a clutch slave?
The clutch would go from unengaged to completely engaged in about an inch of pedal travel, it was quite difficult to drive. Fortunately I was only a couple blocks from home at a grocery store and was able to drive home.
