My P5 has about 60,000 miles on it and the clutch just doesn't feel right. Not a sudden thing, it's just gotten to the point where I have to do something about it.
I have to depress the clutch pedal pretty much smack to the floor to get it to disenguage and allow the trans to go in gear.
The point where the clutch is engauged is up at the top of the pedal throw, where you would expect it.
I know the clutch is good because I can kill the engine by having it in gear, with the brakes set, and letting out the clutch.
This got me looking at the slave cylinder and I noticed something that seems strange.
The push rod is notably NOT in line with the cylinder!!!
The red line is the cylinder centerline. The green line is the centerline of the push rod.
This just doesn't look right!!!!! It's as if the clutch arm has moved outwards.
So, please look at your car and let me know if this is normal
