Ok this is how it started. I started to drive home and everything was perfect. A couple of miles later I pushed the clutch in to go to 6th and I heard something vibrating. I did it again it still did it. When I got of the highway it started to do it all the time and the clutch became very hard to engage. I finally got it home and checked the resovir and it was empty. How do I add more fluid an bleed the line so that the clutch will engage again or is the problem worse then that????????

 

Does anyone know anyone is san diego area who can help me????????????

 

Sounds like your slave or master cylinder seal busted and bent the rods and it leak out all the fluid. Just buy a new hydraulic set, they come pre-bled and with the fluid already in them, install takes about 30 minutes. If not, I think the only way to bleed these are by gravity bleeding and I have no clue how that works.

 

can you tell me how to do that by chance. Are they expensive.

 

bought $115 shipped from gmpartsdirect I believe. Only thing you need to do is rip off the clip on the clutch pedal inside the car (have to buy a new one, get it from the dealer for like 2 bucks, just a standard C clip for the brake pedal will work) , behind the clutch petal you should see a stud with two nuts, undo those two nuts. Then in the engine bay (big pain in the *** with the fourthgen gigantic windshield) behind the brake booster the stud is there, pull it out (it holds the master cylinder in) and then just undo the slave cylinder under the car, thats cake. Pull out the assembly. And in typical Haynes fasion....

Installation is reverse of removal.

 

great but would still like any more advise from others. What all did come with that.

 

Master cylinder, slave cylinder, reservoir and the line of course, all pre-assembled.

 

Inspect your clutch fork that it's properly seated. The bolt that held my fork pivot point backed out and broke. So when I pushed the clutch pedal in I damaged my slave cylinder (nothing to push against) so it leaked. Unbolt your slave cylinder and inspect the fork position.

 

That sound good to. What was the part number for the part you ordered that had all of that stuff.

 

ok now I can not turn the car on. It feels like something is jammed and wont let the motor turn over would the slave cause this.

 

Yes, if the clutch fork pivot bolt broke, the clutch fork will "jam" up against the flywheel and not let the engine turn-over.

 

That sounds like it. Do I have to pull the whole trans out to check and to fix.

 

You can inspect your clutch fork by removing the slave cylinder and looking in the hole. If the problem is the bolt that holds the fork pivot in place, you need to pull the tranny to fix.
