description: WHEN I WAS DROPPING MY SISTER OFF AT THE AIRPORT, I WAS LEAVING IN MY CAVALIER WHICH IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND ENGAGED THE CLUTCH IT STUCK ON AND WOULD NOT COME OFF. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND BRAKES TO STALL OUT THE CAR. ONCE THE CAR STALLED IT ALSO CAME TO REST AGAINST A TREE, WHICH THANKFULLY DID NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE EXCEPT A FEW SCRATCHES. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I HAD NOTICED THAT A HOLE HAS WORN IN THE HYDRAULIC RUBBER LINE FROM THE MASTER CLUTCH CYLINDER. THE HOSE WAS RUBBING AGAINST A WIRING HARNESS METAL BRACE BRACKET JUST BELOW THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ALOT OF DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH IN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. I HAD JUST LEFT THE HALIFAX WATER FRONT WHERE THERE WERE ABOUT 6000 PEOPLE AND IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENED. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN MAJOR PROBLEMS. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENED THERE WAS NO WARNING. *TR
