My Clutch (or Master Cylinder) Died today

[allezjohn]

Something broke today... Get in Car. Push in Clutch to start it. Car starts to crank, then a Pop noise and the car jumps forward. Yet my foot is still on the clutch. I remove my foot from the clutch, and the pedal is still down. I pull it back to normal. Get out and see some fluid dripping from beneath the Brake Booster. :mfrown: Maybe the clutch master cylinder is toast? How hard is that to replace? Thanks in advance guys.

PM'd you. I have oem slave+master if you need them on the cheap.

Turns out it was my Clutch Master Cylinder. There is that circular plate on the side of it, held on by 3 torx head bolts. Well the head of one of those bolts popped off [that must have been the "pop" noise I heard]. Then the plate wasn't secure, so fluid leaked out. Have gotten it fixed now. EP3 is back in business!
