So, yesterday exiting a parking lot I heard a loud pop from my clutch pedal. It felt different, but seemed ok so I drove it home. Today when I tried to put it in reverse it wouldn't engage. It doesn't like going into gears. I turned the car off and I could go through the gears no problem.

I can go through most of the gears just fine, but 6 and reverse are a no go when the car is on. I'm thinking it might just be the clutch going out which seems obvious, but could there be any other culprits and things I need to address?

Thanks wankelbolt! I'll take a look at it to see what's up!

Tailicus

It is indeed the clutch pedal. I'm gonna get to fixin' it as soon as possible!

Tailicus

That was it and I've got it fixed!

Congratulations and well done!

Now get somebody to weld up that broken one like the BHR one and sell it on here as an "improved" pedal to get some of your money back.

Damn I just missed you. The dealership would have replaced it for free there was an extended warranty on the pedals if they crack there the dealership will replace. Just talked to them about my 2008 a few days ago.

They would've given me an OEM pedal w/o welding improvements. And the dealership is 30 minutes away. I liked this option better anyway because I got to work on it myself

Good idea.... keep this on the down low haha.
