    Clutch issues.

    to make this short and easy.. about a week or two ago, my clutch was getting soft and to the point that it would not even go into 1st or reverse.. and when it did if i lifted my foot 1 centimeter it would engage and car would start moving. come to find out my clutch reservoir was empty!! I filled it up with dot 3 fluid as specified. a day or two later it was empty again so I filled it up. it is slowly losing oil somewhere. I checked all the spots I have read online behind the pedal, under the brake booster even put cardboard under the car between engine and tranny to see if it was leaking and nothing no leaks whatsoever!! Where the hell is this fluid going?

    check the connector where the hydraulic hose connects to the slave. Sometimes they are not installed properly and can leak is damage.


    Try filling the reservoir back up and have some one press the clutch pedal while you are under the car. A leak that bad has to show some where.

    You'll need a new clutch as well as some of the fluid has contaminated the clutch friction material.

    No other way around that one. Pull the tranny and clutch.
