i was driving last night and my clutch felt kinda weird. when i pressed it in to change the gears it wouldnt depress all the way. I had to derpess it with my foot. so i park and look under the hood and see i got no fluid but i had it a week ago. so i pour some in there and when i was pouring i could see some dirty fluid. so than i started to drive and the clutch started to act up again. 1/4 of a mile later i pull over and again no fluid as if it leaked out. so i drive hope and park it and press the clutch and it is just stuck to the floorboard with no pressure. there is no fluid and no leak near the resevoir but there is a leak near the tranny where it goes in to the T/O bearing and the pin seems kinda loose.
i dont know what to fix and what to do???

I have some pics of it...

THANKS FOR THE HELP

 

Congrats You have a leaky clutch slave cylinder!
Yeah I can get those too less than $25 brand new probably can be including shipping will check monday AM

 

yea i know how yea feel,
i have the same problem i have to fill mine up every week about.
if you wouldnt mind hooking me up as well i would really appricitate it


i know how yea feel, good luck on getting it fixed.

 

how hard is it to change?

 

i had my master cylinder leak out. fix it quick.. i got a quote for 120 brand new part, not reman including labor

if you have hydrolic fluid on the clutch pedal, and you can feel the pedal is slippery, that is a good sign that the master is done.

 

ohh yeah..i have to fix it cause it leaks like crazy..i cant drive it. but does anyone know how hard to fix it. u dont have to remove the tranny or anyhting like that?

 

nope...not have to remove tranny...its pretty simple bolt on bolt off for the slave cylinder. the part that takes time is the clutch fluid bleeding.

 

yep!

 

This was the only thing to go wrong with my first 92 SE. It was the clutch slave cylinder. I took it to Clutch Doctor and it was like $100 installed. Internetautomart can get the part cheap if you want to do it yourself.

 

BTW...is that the same thing as clutch release cylinder? just making sure cuase i was looking at the Haynes manual

 

If there is a picture, and in that picture you can see it attached to the block and next to the ground, then yes it's the same.

If not, then no.

(mine went out and it took me less than an hour to fix. driving home and not using the clutch was a different story)

 

The piece in the pic you showed us. is known generically as a clutch slave cylinder. other books may use different names for it but it is the part by the trans that hydrolicaly (sp?) activates the clutch
Call it what you will and I'll call it by aftermarket standards.
