My Escape has had clutch problems in the past, sometimes it shakes but tonight the peddle stuck all the way to the floor and had to be lifted with my toes and was difficult to put into gear afterwards. It had the clutch replaced from the recall a few years back. I've read about bleeding the line, and perhaps we will try that tomorrow-- any ideas on doing that correctly? I assume the clutch is bad, but it's worth checking for air first. How does air get in the lines, to begin with? Is getting a new clutch in this model super expensive?

HI there,

This will be a hydraulic problem, check the fluid level, if low top up and re bleed, air can enter the system via a faulty clutch master or slave cylinder.

Is the Master Cylinder. Almost $300 to repair, not as bad as we expected so I guess that's a plus! Cars can't last forever, thanks for the reply. Good luck out there folks.
