After sitting for 10 days, clutch is stuck. at first it depressed to the floor and stuck. then I pulled it back, now it won't depress.

SOURCE: manual clutch

If it is a brand new clutch, it's not broken in yet, which is why it "sticks". Give it some time, though, and it will stop "sticking". It took a half mile of stop and go traffic for mine to stop doing that with my new performance clutch.

Hi,

On an 89 Toyota Camry with manual transmission, two possible reasons:

• clutch;
• release bearing

SOURCE: clutch pedal stays on floor when released

check the helper spring on the clutch pedal. You'll have to get down in the driver's footwell and using a flashlight look at the mechanism while you push the pedal down (and pull up). If the spring isn't missing or broken and everything looks okay, then change the clutch master cylinder. The piston in the cylinder is probably binding due to corrosion in the bore. I have an 1986 and had the same problem. Changing the clutch master cylinder fixed it.

SOURCE: clutch won't engage

There is a problem with the pressure plate spring or possibly the throwout bearing is bound up,you should be able to pull the rubber boot from around the clutch fork and have someone depress the pedal,you should be able to see if it's a problem with the bearing.Unfortunatly the trans is probably going to have to caome off.

SOURCE: clutch is noisy,when i depress the clutch the

this noise is caused by a noisy clutch throw-out/release bearing, that is the part that presses against the pressure plate and disengages the clutch disk, the transmission must be removed to replace this part, so it is best to replace the clutch assembly at the same time, the labor for both is the same, about 5 hours
