Consumer Description

AFTER A 60 MILE HIGHWAY TRIP, THE CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR AND HAD TO BE MANUALLY RETURNED TO HOME POSITION. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF GEAR, BUT UNABLE TO PUT IT IN GEAR. I NOTICED THE CLUTCH PEDAL HEIGHT WAS LOWER THAN THE BRAKE SO I PULLED THE CLUTCH PEDAL BACK OUT WITH MY FOOT. AFTER THAT, THE CLUTCH BEHAVED RELATIVELY NORMALLY THOUGH A LITTLE SOFT. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN ON MY RETURN TRIP 9/3/01. THE CLUTCH PERFORMS ACCEPTABLY DURING NORMAL CITY DRIVING.*AK
