Hello,
I have a 1997 Citroen Synergie 1.9 TD.
A few months ago, the clutch began to give way, with the pedal shooting into the floor when I applied pressure. I could then pull it back up by hand, and it would be fine again for a while, then the same thing would happen.
I ignored it for a while, and then the gear change became very crunchy. Eventually, the clutch jammed down again big-time and knackered the pressure plate good and proper.
I had the clutch replaced in December, and everything seemed to be pretty much back to normal.
However, in the last week or so, the disappearing clutch problem has returned.
It feels like something very near to the pedal itself snaps or pops out of place, but then pulling the pedal back up tends to fix it for another wee while.
When the pedal works, the new clutch itself is still working fine and gear changes are OK.
I am wondering what could be causing the pedal to give way like this? The puzzle is that pulling it back up will cure it for a while. A snapped cable or busted cable clips wouldn't temporarily repair in this way, would they? So what could the problem be?
What could give way then pop back into place, then give way again?
Any help would be appreciated.
