Clutch assembly has a leak of fluid into the interior of the car (down the clutch armature to the clutch pad and to floor mat, if significant leakage) which has a) caused the clutch pedal pad to become slippery and fall off due to the fluid seeping behind the pad [after market replacements not available due to relative youth of car, therefore necessitating service at dealer], b) causes the brake light to come on…

The clutch master cylinder leaks at a premature mileage. I only noticed it at around the 42k mark but it has happened for an unknown amount longer. The leak goes through the clutch pedal and into the interior of the drivers side cabin. It gets all over the carpet and can cause future damage to my carpet and possibly floor. The fluid is very corrosive and since its on the same system as the brakes it also affects my…

Failing clutch master cylinder. This is not a part that has a recommended replacement term. This part has failed prior to the tune up mileage. It failed less than 2k miles out of warranty. *jb

Clutch Assembly
The events leading up to the failure were daily use. The clutch master cylinder is located inside the vehicle. It is a very common failure for it to begin leaking, dripping on the carpet and eventually causing the rubber pad on the clutch pedal to fall off. This in itself is dangerous, but the hydraulic clutch utilizes the same fluid reservoir as the brake system, so the brakes could be affected by a leaking clutch.…

45,000 mile car has leaking clutch master cylinder. Clutch pedal is wet and slippery with brake fluid. I've had to add brake due to the leak. I'm afraid that my brakes will go out or that my foot will slip off of the clutch pedal. I still havn't had it fixed yet because the replacement part will likely fail also. It's a common problem according to the dealer i took it to for an estimate. *nm

Clutch Assembly
Clutch master cylinder leaks clutch fluid. Fluid runs down stem of clutch pedal, loosening the rubber pedal pad, which proceeds to fall off in certain situations while vehicle is in motion. Also clutch master cylinder fluid is supplied by brake master cylinder reservoir!!! This leak can potentially cause brake failure as fluid leaks out of brake master cylinder. *jb

Clutch Assembly · Mechanical
On thursday 5/6/04 the 2002 ford focus was being driven when the clutch assembly broke off under the dash board, disabling the vehicle. The vehicle had to be coasted off the roadway, and towed to the dealership. The broken pin was found on the floor under the clutch pedal. It could easily be determined that the pin broke off some type of bracket. You could see the welding and what appeared to be part of the bracket.…
