so it started with having some difficulty getting into reverse....but i was ok with that cause i just don't use reverse enough to be annoyed by it...then i started having trouble getting into 1st (which i obviously use alot)...before i knew it i was trapped at lights trying to get into gear and just wrestling the stick through the gates.
so after a couple of searches on this board, i took a peek under the hood and saw that #1 the fluid in the clutch master cylinderlooked like liquid graphite and #2 the slave cylinder showed signs of weepage. picked up a slave cylinder at Advance Auto for like $20 + some brake fluid. popped it in - cleaned out the resevoir and filled it with fresh fluid. i started to bleed the system and nothing happened. so i figure what the heck, 200K miles on the original clutch master cylinder is nothing to complain about. so i went back to Advance Auto and picked up a new on for about $30. got home - dropped it in (to my surprise, these things are incredibly easy to install) - started bleeding and VOILA!!! a fully engaging and disengaging clutch...

just thought i'd share

 

Good job! If you chnage out the rubber piece of the clutch line with a stainless one. Major difference, engaging and releasing is precise. someone on here makes them cheap.

 

cant say i havnt suggested what you did a 1000 times before to others so from know on i will refure any future problems to this thread for PROOF

enjoy the max

 

On both my third gens this has happened, and both times it was the master cylinder. I was kinda pi$$ed the second time when I found out how easy it was, because the first time, the tranny shop charged me $300 to do it.

 

haha 300$ for a part that you can buy at the ZONE for 17.99 and install in 30min WOW
