Spectra

  • Manual transmission
  • 65,000 miles
After pressing the clutch more than ten time it starts getting harder. After that it will get stuck and will not release. This only happens when temperatures are over 90 degrees. It will release after it cools down. I have been stranded in the middle of the road several times. My vehicle is less than 100 thousand miles.
