Clutch Pedal on the Floor? Broken Master Cylinder Found!

Transit Van Clutch Failure – What We Found 

At 1Stop Motor Shop, we recently had a Ford Transit in the garage with the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. After a thorough inspection, we discovered the problem – a broken clutch pedal master cylinder. Without a functioning master cylinder, the clutch cannot properly engage or disengage, making it impossible to change gears.

What Does the Clutch Master Cylinder Do? 

The clutch master cylinder is a crucial part of your clutch hydraulic system, responsible for transmitting pressure from the pedal to the clutch. Over time, it can fail due to:

• Wear & tear from repeated use
• Fluid leaks reducing hydraulic pressure
• Contaminated or low clutch fluid
• Seal deterioration causing internal leaks

Signs of a Failing Clutch Master Cylinder 

• Clutch pedal sticking to the floor
• Difficult or impossible gear changes
• Low or leaking clutch fluid
• Soft or spongy clutch pedal feel

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to complete clutch failure, leaving you stranded and facing expensive repairs.
