Yesterday. Now, for a long, long time, I have driven 50-60 miles one way to work, and as my Corolla was aging, it often broke down on the road...at the OTHER end of the road from home. I often had to have it serviced at a certain dealer in the Berkshires who shall remain nameless, particularly due to the premium they charged for service and parts!
So, yesterday I was about 3/4 miles from work. First gear, second...third four...four....UGH! Clutch pedal stuck to the floor and no way to shift into any gear (without trying to hit the syncros, of course...) luckily I had enough momentum to park it right in front of the service dept! This time, breaking down at work worked in MY favor!!!
New clutch slave cylinder and 15 mins later...
The sad part: I bought one 2 years ago and never replaced it...it's sitting on a shelf in my garage... :(
