Hello,
My car starts just fine, but I cannot switch into any gears at all. The clutch pedal is extreamly loose and when i push it all the way down it just stays. I believe its just not disegaging the clutch, but I dont know how to fix it. I think I have a hydrolic clutch, so it might be a crack in the line? what is the fix for that? more transmission fluid?
Thanks
1st thing to check is the clutch reservoir which should be located on the engine firewall, near the brake master cylinder. Make sure it's full, if it's low, it could result in your trouble. It requires brake fluid, if you have to add any.
Problem is either a bad clutch master cylinder, leak in hydraulic line or bad slave cylinder. Check all for leaks and replace bad components. If no leaks, likely the master is internally bypassing and not making pressure. After repair, system needs to be bled (essentially the same as you bleed brakes) to remove any trapped air.
You need to check the slave/master cylinders for leaking. Loose pedal means there is no liquid inside, clutch is bleeding. Look under the vihicle for leaks and floore inside tha cabin.
Hope that helps
Good Luck

thank you all! I will look into this and see what I find
Make sure your slave cylinder is full first. There should be a round (usually round anyway) plastic reservoir mounted on the firewall that uses brake fluid....that supplies fluid to the slave cylinder.
