Hey guy, i'm having some clutch problems lately. Won't go in any gears, seems like the clutch is not totally engaged. I bleeded the system and still have this problem once in awhile, some days it drives fine. Also my idle jumps and dies out, also sometimes its fine. With the idle I found that if I unplug the hose on the intake and plug up the hole, it idles very good. Thanks for looking.

The black hose on the intake

does your clutch peddle feel really hard? i'm having the same problem too. the engaugement ends up at the very top of the peddle. which makes the clutch slip because the fork isn't holding strongly. i've changed to new slave cylinder, rebuild CMC and new push rod (old rod was bent). same problem, so now i have to buy a new CMC from the dealer.

about your idle, you should try cleaning your IACV.

i see that you have a breather filter, get rid of it and hook up a hose from the valve cover to the intake and that should clear up your idle problem for hte most part. Also, do you have a stock bov, if so is it routed back to the intake, if it isnt your car will die all the time.

for the high pedal problem if the clutch is new you need to adjust the pedal if the clutch is old then it needs to be replaced

check and see if your slave cylinder is pushing the pivot fork out enough.. it may be getting stuck.

and that hose that you plugged is leaking somewhere, causing your bad idle.
