When this happened to me it was a spring from the clutch disk getting wedged into the assembly (ie.. thats what that sprong sound was when I launched). Ended up replacing the clutch .... ouch.
If I remember correctly, I had this a long long time ago on an Acura Legend of mine.. it was the clutch slave cylinder on the tranny, replaced it, bled lines and was good to go... if I remember correctly, I Think, I remember I pressed pedal and just BANG stayed on floor, then when you pull it up by hand, would BANG, pop to the top.. my memory might be failing me, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was, clutch slave cylinder.. found a good one at the scrap I think. Hard to remember, long time ago, many cars ago.RafaCalde":3927ei8p said:

sounds like you have air in the system. the symptoms you describe sound hydraulic. so look for slave and master problems, but start with bleeding the system to see if that fixes it. my problem ended up being broken springs in the clutch disk. these were stuck under the diaphram spring so it wouldn't disengage. obviously didn't find this out untill i had everything apart, so replacing the clutch fixed it all.

This is exacty what's happening. Would replacing just the internals on the slave do just as well as replacing the whole thing? I have a slave rebuild kit in my stock.

Truly hope it's not the springs. ACT 6 puck sprung with heavy duty plate. Installed just barely 1 year ago. Has less than 4k miles on it. Won't know anything for sure until I bleed the line anyway. Fingers crossed.
Truly man, I have no idea about a rebuild kit or trying to open it up and fixing it n things like that,
but I would try to bleed the lines like Landon suggested before you do anything else, might get lucky.
about rebilding, I dunnnoooo man, I would just go to some JDM engine shop with 3sgte motors and bug them till they sell you a nice one off a tranny they have there. probably can find one with super low 40,000km on it all shiny clean black..lol.. sparkling ... lol
Good luck man...

Don't now if 20 bucks is worth dropping the trans. Plus I have no means of checking that. No tools, lift or garage. I moved to Boston in the july and left everything in florida. One thing I forgot to mention was that it only does it when the car is on. Don't know if that makes difference. I looked inside my clutch resevoir, and the fluid is clear, lower than when I filled it last summer when the motor and trans were dropped, and it looks like there is grease settle at the bottom of it. It's the best way I can describe it.
