This is a 93 SE.

I was on my way to work, stopped at a light, the car was out of gear and the clutch pedal released. The light turned green, I depressed the clutch, put the car in gear, then took my foot off the clutch pedal. The pedal stayed stuck to the floor. I put my foot back on it, with a bit more pressure to see if I could get it back up. That didn't work. Then I tried pulling the shifter out of first gear with no luck- the shift lever wouldn't budge an inch. Noticing that the car wasn't having fun at the moment, jittering aruond 500 rpms and vibrating like the clutch is barely engaged.

I turned the car off and flipped on my hazards (note: I was stopped at a green light in the left lane of a two lane road). With not much else to do, I reached down and tried pulling up on the clutch pedal. That worked. I put my foot on it and depressed it, everything felt fine. I started my car back up, put it in gear, and took off. Everything felt fine, 1st through 5th and back to 1st.

Worried about the current situation, I made a bee line for my house, but avoiding any high traffic roads. On the way back, the pedal stuck to the floor about 7 or 8 times, twice in a row on a slight incline. Other than going through practically every possible delay that could have been thrown at me (big long line of traffic moving very slowly, kids crossing a crosswalk on their way home from school, a bus cut out in front of me, and four red lights) in a distance of less than a mile, I did make it home safely and without any visible damage to my car.

Once I got home, I backed my car down my driveway, popped the hood, and took a peek at the fluid in the master cylinder. It was bone dry. I called up my Dad and let him know of the situation and he told me that this morning he noticed some fluid had leaked out onto the driveway where my car was parked over the weekend (this was our other driveway, on a somewhat steep hill).

So, I have a leak somewhere. Not being a major car mechanic myself, I have no idea where to start. I assume that I'll need to run to our neighborhood Schmucks and get some clutch hydraulic fluid and a buddy to help me get things squared away. Any advice is appreciated.

 

A leak at the master cyliner, rubber line or at the slave cylinder.

Take a look at the stickies above and browse though the chiltons online.

 

Will do.
