1 Clutch Bell Housing problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2007

I had a total loss of clutch hydraulic pressure on 6 speed manual transmission. The pedal was stuck to the floor and I had to move it back up with my hand. I then depressed it again with my foot and the same results. I've done some research on vw enthusiast web sites seeing itã‚s a common problem amongst 6 speed manual transmission . From that conclusion I figured it was either the master cylinder or slave cylinder. I had the car towed to the dealer, and it was discover a bad slave cylinder. Obviously it is a trend and a costly one at that. Since the slave cylinder is located in the bell housing, it leaked hydraulic fluid all over my clutch. So now I have to replace a perfectly good clutch.
