Clutch/ Throwout Question


Matt01

Recommended Posts

I was driving home, and I got to a stop light, my gears got really hard to engage. By the next stop sign no gear would go in.

I turned the car off and the gears went in, today I checked and when I press the clutch you can see the slave cylinder disengaging the clutch, but most of the clutch pedal has no feel, only the last half that has some tension.

I was hoping for a blown line, clutch slave or master, but now I'm thinking throw out, and that's a real PITA.

what do you think?

Is your brake fluid in the reservoir at the proper level?

The brake level is at "low" but I cant verify that it was any higher than that before the failure. I noticed it's greasy inside the cabin in the area of the clutch master cylinder. What worries me is that when the peddle is pressed the clutch fork still looks like it engages/disengages correctly. But the peddle has no pressure.

to bleed it, im guessing its the nipple on the slave, I can easily give it a shot tomorrow. if there is no fluid in there im guessing its because it leaked out somewhere.?

The clutch im guessing is about 175K kilometers on it, thats what the records indicate.
