Clutch Pedal Won't Go Down..... Help!
OK Just got the car back from the repair shop after having the engine replaced. The new engine has 135 miles on it and NOW the clutch broke. On the way into work this morning the pedal went all the way to the floor. I put my toe under the pedal and it came right back up, but now it won't budge!! I was able to limp it into a parking spot to get it off the highway. Is this something simple?

Sounds like the master cylinder came loose at the clutch pedal. Look under the dash at the top of the clutch pedal. You will see a stud where the clutch master cylinder attaches to the pedal. The only thing that holds this together is a small retainer clip. Just a guess. Good luck.

From experience I would say the master came loose at the firewall. The master slips through a hole in the firewall and you rotate it right to lock(not really) in place.

Thanks guys,
Apparently a "coupling" came loose from the Master. The mechanic said it could have been becasue of the after market clutch (Center Force) was applying to much pressure caused the failure. The center force has been for 2 years prior. On the good side, the mechanic stood by his work and didn't charge me anything for the repair
