Clutch Pedal Question

Dunno where else to post this, but what does that little metal cylinder shaped thing that's attached to the back of the clutch pedal do?

Probably has something to do with the fact that you have a hydraulic clutch

Moves the hydraulic fluid to actuate the clutch. I believe it's called the master cylinder. it converts the mechanical action of you pushing the pedal into fluid pressure.

sigh... thanks for not flaming too much. I was under the impression that the clutch master cylinder would be somewhat larger and connected to the arm that extends downward to the pedal... Hm... Guess not...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

The master cylinder is under the hood.


That switch under the pedal is what tells your car the clutch is depressed so the car witll start. (safety switch)

Hang on... Do you mean the cylinder that is attached to the actual pedal? As in the plate you put your foot on? That's just a stopper. Through the fire wall is the master cylinder. Inside the car is the neutral lock switch.
