So here's my issue:
Car is a 2003.5 Protege5
~152,000 km
Car is in really good shape, but over the last few months it's developed a pretty major issue.
After driving it for 30 - 45 minutes, I can't shift the damn thing into first or second gear from a stop. When the problem first started, I could still muscle it into gear, now, forget about it. Pumping the clutch helps, but barely.
I have read a couple bookmarked threads I have, but I figured I start a new thread for my problem.
I just had the clutch and brake hydraulic fluid flushed and the clutch pedal checked, still have the problem.
I have a feeling the clutch is failing to pull out fully after it heats up to a certain temp.
So where should I go from here? Master/Slave cylinder replacement or just get the clutch replaced?
Thanks,
BB
