Left work early becuase i was sick and parked it. today i go to turn it on and my clutch has no resistance until 3/4 the way down. ok wtf! the car turns on, goes thru the gears while on, and grabs and goes, i checked fluid really really low put some in. and now where the hell do i go? this is my daily driver please help! b16 tranny btw

#96400 Hydro/cable?

Hydro- how low is low? is it possible air got into the lines? Bleed the system to make sure.

It is also possible your slave cylinder is going out, happens all the time

as for cable- Idk :roll:

#96403 bleed it. make sure the reservoir stays full. pump pedal, open valve, close valve, let/pull pedal up and repeat pumping :thumb:

You never checked the levels when you got the car? if the levels were okay, and now its empty. you need to find the leak : :D

#96418 yea if there is a leak however it will be pretty simple to locate since the clutch line runs straight across the fire wall under the battery tray, along the pside frame rail and to the slave cyl. now you will most likely have a leak here at the slave cyl. or up top at the clutch master cyl. most likely you will see a leak against the firewall under the dash if that is the case which would mean a leaky seal thats what mines doing right now....but yea its pretty simple to swap its just a pain and make sure you have the right tools and line wrenches so you dont strip anything
