No clutch experience

[gstcrazy95]

I have never personally worked with clutch issues, and my Dad only knows how to work with RWD clutches. I was in 5th gear on the highway and got on the off ramp. While proceeding to down-shift to 4th I noticed my clutch pedal popped. I pulled off tot he side to find my clutch pedal stuck to the floor board. I crawled under the car, after buying some fluids from the nearby truck stop and pouring it into the car. While under the car I noticed I was leaking fluid horribly. Any ideas? Me and Dad figured it might be the slave cylinder. I'm in college and the car is sitting at home a ways away and like that title says I have no experience with clutches. Anyone with any input or help would be appreciated.

Sounds like either the master might be leaking all your clutch fluid out. Try washing down the area and repouring some dot3 into your clutch fluid to see where its leaking from.

My money is on t he slave cylinder. Not that hard of a job to replace. Bleeding it is a different story of course. Master cylinder usually leaks onto the floorboard, slve cylinde leaks onto the ground.

Well finally went home this weekend. Found out ti was just a $5 line that busted. So $5 and a couple hours later, the ride is bake and running.
