Hey guys I just picked up a 95 TSi FWD last night. The kid I got it from said he was driving it, and then it just wouldnt go into gear and he had no clutch pedal. When I arrived to pick up the car, I noticed there was a clutch pedal but it felt weird (not really soft but not really hard either). I then open the hydrolic fluid to check it, and it was beyond BONE DRY. I filled it up DOT3, and then tryed to pump the clutch, and hold in to try to get the fluid through the master cylinder. I had him push the clutch and i saw the slave rod moving, but im not sure on if its actually engaging and disengaging? I was able to hold clutch in and shift gears while car is off. Without the clutch we didnt get it to start but I took his word on the motor.
This mourning I came out to the car and saw the fluid was still full, so I took cap off and pushed in clutch and held it for a min and released. The fluid level didnt go down, and now the pedal goes to the floor and when I release it comes up, but just before it lets out all the way, it like pops up last inch or so.
He said prior to this problem, there was no sign of clutch not working as far as grinding into gears or anything. I saw NO signs of clutch fluid in the car by the pedals
Im hoping its something like changing slave or master. What do you guys think?
