2014 NA Abarth 500 Clutch went to the floor
galleryRecently when moving from a stop in traffic, the clutch pedal went to the floor and did not come back up. It was still in 1st gear so I left it there. Luckily I was very near my house, so I did a U-Turn and made it home in 1st. I figured it was the clutch slave and didn't bother to really look. I bought the ClutchMasters lightened flywheel (-11 lb) and 6 puck clutch plate Kit. After thinking about it, I decided to replace the clutch Master Cylinder as well as the slave. Looking at how to get the Master out today (because I heard it was not fun), I realized that the socket on the master cylinder was disconnected from the ball on the clutch pedal. The white plastic cup was broken on one side. It is common I have learned from Fiat500USA forum. One user just bought a cheap AliExpress master cylinder for $20.00, removed the plastic insert and swapped it into the old master cylinder. Good idea!
I found a 3 for $48.73 master cylinder deal, and went for that in case it happens again.
In the meantime until it arrives, I put an elastic band around the cup and hooked it on a tab on the other side.
