Okay, thank you! I wasn't sure if anybody was going to respond because I thought these were old post. I haven't done it yet but, was going to tomorrow morning. So did I get that right if it does jump then it's not the clutch plate or whatever it is? And no, didn't see any leaks under car! I'm am so lost on this I'm not even sure what I'm even actually talking about! But my break fluid was like half empty. Would that have anything to do with it? I think it might because it was not a lot but it put a little tiny bit of pressure back in the pedal. ??? THANKS AGAIN!
Yes, if any standard/manual transmission vehicles jumps/launches forward without the clutch pedal being stepped on/pressed, it's not the clutch pedal/eccentric slave cylinder. It's something else that's connected to the clutch pedal that's not pushing the pedal forward/ back to normal & not allowing transmission to safely shift gears when engine is on.
Don't shift into gear from neutral when the engine is on, you will grind gears & cause more damages to transmission
In 1st gen standard/manual Fortes sedans & Koups, the clutch pedal uses the hydraulic brake fluid. Yes, the clutch pedal/eccentric slave cylinder & the power brakes use the same fluid. They also have & use clutch pedal safety switch to start the vehicle.
If your brake fluid/brake fluid reservoir is constantly low/needs to be filled, there's a leak/air somewhere at the braking system or at the clutch pedal/eccentric slave cylinder.
Check your brake system at the
▪︎Master brake cylinder, brake fluid reservoir,
▪︎Master brake booster
▪︎HCU (Hydraulic Control Unit/Electronic Hydraulic Brake module)
▪︎Brake lines (metal & rubber hoses/banjo bolts)
▪︎Brake calipers & at the rims/wheels.
Where ever the brake fluid is leaking at or air going in you should see fluid leaks.
Since you say you there's no leaks, then it's something else in the transmission that's causing the clutch pedal/eccentric slave cylinder to malfunction.
