OK yesterday i go to my car and cut is on all ready in engage the clutch....and its not going in...scared cause this is my only car i call my uncle to see if he could figure it out I tellum the situation and he says if its hydraulic then check the fluid and if its cable then......your clutch is diein....o i forget to add the clutch also feels very spongy and i have to press if very hard...but what really confuses me is that when i cut the car off i can shift gears is it cause the flywheel is spinin in the transmision when the engine is runnin i dont know am confused some please help asap

 

Wow, that was rough. I have read it three times and the last few lines still baffle me. It sounds like you need to bleed your hydraulic system. The real question is why. If you bleed your system and it is still the same, try the slave and master. I had the same issues with my car and it turned out to be a faulty slave cylinder.

 

You probably just have a leak at the soft line by the slave cylinder if it's all stock equipment. Did you even check the fluid, look for leaks?

 

well one thing i didn't know is that it was a hydraulic clutch so were can i find the fluid for that again sorry about the typing even after rereading that i was also confused @_@ But if it makes it any better the clutch wouldn't engage or go into gear and the clutch feels very spongy so i just wanted to make it sound more clear so ill go look for the hydraulic fluid...best of luck

 

Far left of engine bay, right next to the brake booster:

 

it could be a small leak in one of the hoses too. But 1st check to see if your leveled off good.

 

+1 i have had this problem before, it was very annoying, MC and lines, i would get those changed then go from there.

 

I think u mean far right corner of the engine bay. This is when you are looking at the bay from the from the front of the car.

 

No, I meant far left.

Looking from the front of the engine bay, speaking as if you were facing it, it would indeed be the right. But that's not how one is supposed to refer to relative locations on a car, as it ends up being confusing.

 

OMFG THERES NONE IN THERE! THERES NO FLUID! I SHOULD BE ASHAME OF MYSELF! i dont believe i did that...am sorry about that guy and thanks for the info i need get a grip of that of my self i knew if somethin felt spungy just like a break pedal would act if there was no fluid that it would need or it doesnt have any fluid in it again that you Org u got are amazing

 

always happens.^^.....to you ONLY. Remember to still bleed to get air out of system.

 

Now the brake fluid obviously went somewhere, so fill it up, bleed it, then have someone operate the clutch pedal while you watch for a leak.

More than likely though, it's at the hose above the trans.

 

But 1 final question what type of fluid goes in sorry fir the noobish questions cause i am.....a noob!

 

Brake fluid. DOT 3, DOT 4, whichever.

IIRC it's stamped on the stock reservoir cap.

 

K thxs alot the hunt begins!

 

for the hose above the trans.....stainless for replacement.

 

i think that MC is leaking 4th gens have a habit of having leaky ones, i would look into that as well as getting the line changed

 

i had mine like just randomly run dry on fluid one day so i thought i had a leak too but i just filled it up and bled it ( this was about 5 months ago) and it's still full and working fine, might not be a leak

 

Well Its been filled and bled(by my uncle who's a master mechanic)and he came up to the decisions that i need a new clutch..... there is pressure against the clutch so i can press it but it still give me slight trouble...well at least i know now huh now i have to find a clutch kit..i guess a new battle begins! again thanks org of greatness

 

Clutch???? Not convinced yet. The fluid left for a reason 90% of the time it is such a small leak in the lower stock rubber hose(s) that cant be seen replace with a stainless lower line and go from there.

 

maxboy i think your right i don't think its the clutch it runs fine but one thing i never check when i first got the car was the hydraulic fluid let alone knew it even existed and that was like 7 months ago so now that i (well he) filled it up and bleeded the line the car shifts into gear with easy an also runs alot smoother now but quick question how long do you think it would take to run out again if it is a leak?
