I went to check out a 5 speed today and when I got in to test drive it I go to push in the clutch and it went about 60-70% to the floor before I got any resistance from the clutch, I took it for a drive down the street and back and it shifted through the gears fine but theres like 3 inches of clutch travel to work with. Surprisingly it wasnt that hard to drive the car though. What could be causing that issue. The guy said him and a "professional" mechanic had did the clutch themselves so I dont know any history but Im trying to see what it would take to fix it before i go buy it. Cars a mess on the exterior and the interiors seen better days too but I could use it for a winter car/ daily driver and keep the red goblin out of the rain snow and salt
Also on my car, sometimes when Im driving the brake light will come on while coming to a stop. It most always does if the abs is activated, I dont know if anyone elses car does this but when I shut the car off I get about 1 and a half pedal presses and the brake pedal gets stiff enough to stand on but it does not apply the pressure to the rotors, like if I park on a SLIGHT incline and forget to apply the parking break and take my foot off the regular break and press it again it wont stop the car only slightly slow it from its 1mph speed. I swear if my car cut off while I was driving I think I would be screwed if something was in front of me
At one point I could push on the pedal multiple times really fast and hard while the car was running and it would bog down and sometimes die.
