hey guy,have a problem, seems like as soon as i get one problem fix 2 weeks later another comes out,anywhom, Thursday i was driving my 2g going to a friends house,and along the way i start to feel like my gears won't go in,i pulled over and checked the Clutch MC. fulid,i look and there is non left,i was pretty pissed,and had to go get a new one,install it Saturday after noon,and bleed the system,i turned car on,and still the gears won't go in,the only way i can get the gears in,is when the car is on,i put it in gear and took it for a drive thinking that after awhile it would go away,but when i drove it,when my car is rolling,my gears go in fine,but when i am stop, my gears won't go in or out,could it be that my Clutch is gone? or is it something else? can some one help me ASAP,i really want to go to the So.Cal DSM meet in Cypress,and won't be able to unless i get this fixed ASAP :(

thanks guys
 
You have to bleed these cars to hell. Also check the throw of the fork. Have someone pump the clutch about 10 to 12 times and then hold it down.See if the slave throws the fork the same distance every time and holds it to full extension.
 
I was dealing with same problem about a week and a half ago. Took it to the shop to find out that the master and the slave cylinders are trashed. three days later i cant get it into gear again. BAck to the shop again. This time to find out that one of the springs off my clutch i gone. So it sounds like a clutch, but thats just my $.02
