So this might sound stupid but there is a method to my madness. Can abs affect the clutch function? Yes I am stupid and young so lets get that out of the way lol but in these few cases it wasnt my fault.
A few months ago I was driving through a parking lot in 2nd gear pretty slow and a car pulled in front of me. I ended up t boning him, but I noticed that my car stalled even though I floored the clutch and the brake and I had more than adequite room to break. I even have pictures and from where I was when I reacted to where I ended up was like 50 or more feet. Like I said I wasnt going that fast and it shouldnt have stalled. And the fuel cutoff switch was not tripped.
A few months before that I was driving in stop and go traffic when all of a sudden the speed of everyone started to pick up. I was doing maybe 35 or so when I looked down as I was going over a little elevated bridge. As I crested it I looked up to see that traffic was dead stopped maybe 50-70 feet in front of me if not more, Ill use google earth later to verify this, when I slammed on the brakes and clutch same thing it kept on going and I ended up up a dodge rams ass. Again the cutoff switch had not been stipped and I all the way on the brakes and clutch yet its like the clutch was still engeged.
So what Im getting at is is it possible that abs is affecting the clutch too? Is there another possibility? I try to drive as carefully as possible but shit happens.
