ok so i was driving to the store, and i decided to get on the gas a little... i was in second gear and was at about 6000 rpms when suddenly the clutch kicked out of gear on its own. i tried to put the car back into gear, but it wouldn't go. i came to a red light, and at low rpms, the car went into gear fine. i drive about 300 feet and noticed that there was little pressure in the clutch pedal, it was simple to press the pedal down. i pulled into the store parking lot, and that's when hell broke loose. the pedal would go all the way to the floor way too easily, and from that point on, i couldn't get my car into any gears. it seemed like there was no pressure what so ever in the clutch pedal. the car would not go into gear unless it was turned off. i turned it off, then turned it back on, and there was a horrible vibration whenever i pressed on the clutch... let off the clutch, and the vibration went away for the most part. i got out and looked in the engine bay while the engine was running, and i notice that there's a slight squeal coming from the transmission casing. i turned the car off, checked the clutch fluid level, it was fine. i had to call a flatbed to tow me 1 mile back to my house, and it was a bitch because i had to take the front bumper off to get it up on the truck. any ideas guys. i just had mitsubishi check out my clutch like a month ago because it was tough to shift into gears at high rpms. they said my clutch was completely fine, not slipping at all, and they blamed it on my short throw shifter, so i changed it back to stock, and that didn't really help the problem. i talked to someone else, and he said my syncros were going, and i talked to another guy and he said my master cylinder was going. is there any way to test the master cylinder or slave cylinder before i pay the labor to have my actual tranny opened?
anyone else ever have this problem before?
