Slave cylinder or Master - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

i'll start from the beginning. So i went to start my car last week and it started fine, but it wouldnt go into gear. And there was no pressure on the clutch at all, if anything, the clutch was actually sticking. So we popped the hood, took the battery out and proceeded to bleed out the clutch. Nothing came out, so we came to the conclusion its either the slave cylinder or master. i could turn on the car in gear and then it jumps foward or backward depending if i was in 1st or reverse.

I'm wondering if there is anyone that could possibly help me find out whats wrong, and help me fix it.

Thank you.

When you took out the battery did you notice any fluid around the slave cylinder?

not really, we actually put more fluid in it after we saw that it didnt bleed out. didnt change a thing

I am experiencing the same problem everytime i start up the car. It will throw a fit once and then for the rest of the drive it will be fine untill i stop and start the car up again. I have yet to check the fluids do to my busy schedule

was the fluid out? low? did you add fluid in the CLUTCH master ?

you can look up under the pedals and see if fluid is coming out of the master cylinder.

Sounds to me you have a leak.. but you need to supply us more info.

Well i dont have my car with me at the moment, i live in laramie wyoming. My car is in Colorado near Broomfield. So i wont be able to check for anything until Wednesday when i go back down there. If anyone wants to lend me a hand i would sure appreciate the help. Sorry i cant supply you guys with anymore info than what i already have.

BrianWSNC · 11-22-2009, 09:30 PM

yea.. I will be right over to help you check the brake fluid level... IF I leave now... I might make it there by Wednesday...

You dont gotta be a smartass about it. That was directed to anyone in general, not just you.

If i was back home i would have had this done already, but school is taking up alot of my time.

my master drained itself to death under my dash until it was replaced. it took a bright ass l.e.d. to find out but after the cylinder was replaced i had an issue that the car wouldnt go into any gear unless it was shut off. when i took it to my trans guy and said 'wtf-slice' he looked at it and we found it the pedal needed to be adjusted. it took about 3 adjustments before it fixed.

i live in pueblo but im off most of the week so if youd want any of my help i'd be happy to drop by.

Well i'll be there wednesday sometime around 5 or 6 in the afternoon, we're hoping to get this done and then head down to Denver. If you could make it then i'll be willing to give you some money for your time or least gas. I'll have to see whats up with my finances. If not wednesday, then sometime later in the weekend.
