When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

Repeat failure of the clutch slave cylinder accompanied by the pedal sticking to the floor.

This condition may be caused by a failed or missing master cylinder line check valve spring at the slave cylinder. If the check valve or check valve spring has failed or is missing, the clutch pedal will stick to the floor. When the pedal is pulled up, fluid will be pumped into the concentric slave cylinder. This over-strokes the slave cylinder and causes an hydraulic failure of the unit.

Replace the slave cylinder and the master cylinder. The master cylinder will include the hydraulic line with the check valve installed.
