Hello, i have an issue with my clutch pedal. I was driving and pushed the clutch in to shift. I heard a nreaking noise and yhe pedal went to the floor. The peadal stil has tension when you move it with your hand, however it goes straight back to rhe floor. I will try to add a couple pictures. Any suggestions?

Sounds like the clutch cable tube in the center tunnel broke loose or deformed at the center weld &/or rear/firewall.

They can be rewelded or repaired/secured in other ways.

Check the tube for play at the engine bay where the tube daylights, then check with your local shop, or do a google search for the topics on here to repair it yourself.

Also check the cable fittings & adjustment at the arm at the clutch end.

Also, make sure that you have a good clean ground at the ground strap from the top of the transaxle to the rear trunk under-deck, since if bad the clutch cable becomes the ground path & gets fried! It's a "while I'm in there...." thing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
