Acme's Disappearing-Reappearing Clutch!
WTF? I'm on my way home from the gym when all of a sudden my transmission doesn't want to come out of gear. I force it out, put the clutch to the floor, and try to get it back in. Nothing. Pump the clutch up a bunch of times, still nothing. I match revs, put it back in gear, and limp to a parking lot.
Naturally, I'm thinking I lost my clutch hydraulics. Fortunately, I was only 2 miles or so from home, so I walked home, put my tools in my truck, and returned to the car. Took off the master cylinder area panel and everything there looked good. Poked around the engine compartment, but didn't see anything obvious.
Traffic has died down a bit by this point, so I figure I'll drive her home without the clutch rather than going back and getting the trailer and having to load her on it without a clutch. Fire her up, and she's behaving completely normal. Drive her home without incident. I repeat...WTF?
One more data point: I bled my brakes using a motive pressure bleeder last weekend. Didn't do the clutch, but have been driving all week without issue.
Any ideas?? Need to get this nailed down since I'm leaving for an HPDE at Mont Tremblant on Sunday.
Thanks a million,
Tom
