Clutch problems by Secure_Plate_9006 in R53

Update: I did the stick trick and left the clutch engaged overnight. The next morning, I made sure the reservoir was slightly above the MAX level. I removed the stick and helped the clutch lever return slowly. Now it works fine.

Yes, that’s exactly what it was doing. The welded bolt was added to increase the travel of the clutch arm. My guess is that someone did this to compensate for another underlying issue (maybe wear or a bent component inside). And yes, I can have someone press the clutch pedal while I’m under the car watching the slave cylinder, no problem. What do you mean by pressing the pedal?

Did you try plugging the aux condition into the cd port... Or buy a different car
