Clutch issue

My clutch started slipping tonight. However I don't know if its the PP, or air in the system. I've been have to replace fluid about once a month. Should I just replace the clutch?

Does it slipp al the time? Are you sure you dint have your foot on the pedal at all? If you rest your foot there you can depress it and cause it to slip. I would deff look into your options before you swap a clutch .

If I put it in 4th, and try to accelerate, (not even hard) it will slip. 5th is the same way, as well as third. It does it all the time.

I was hoping it was just air in the system.

That sounds like a clutch issue. How many miles on it?

Thanks for the help.

Where is the best place to pick one up? There also has to be a leak some where since I have to keep adding fluid.

Looks like its a rubber line. Are there any good online places to get all the parts I need.

I can't believe the machine shop near me wants to charge 100 bucks to resurface the flywheel.
