yeah i belive theres something wrong with eather my clutch or pessure plate cause i can rev the car up and turbo spools but the car wont hardly move and i noticed a brunt breaks smell from the tranny so eather my pessure plate is not holding the clutch to the motor tight enough and letting the clutch slip or the piston is not disinguageing the clutch cause i notice my clutch pedal when i push it in and let off it springs back out real quick like and also has fluid leaking under the dash so would this cause them problem im haveing?
 
Sounds like you need a new master cyl for the clutch, or at least a rebuild kit to stop the leak.


The clutch only works to disengage the clutch, it plays no part in making it grip (unless the slave is stuck or not moving). Check movement at the clutch fork to see how much its moving and its current position.


Did this happen all of a sudden or over time? If over time it sounds like the clutch just wore out, its what they do.
 
i had a similar problem in my last car. check your oil. see if there is white discoloration on it. if so you got water in your engine. i had the same problem and thats what it was.
 
i dont think it would be water in the oil cause it has a rebuilt 6bolt in it. But i will try and drive it tommarow and see how it dose and if it works fine on the test drive then i will buy a new clutch master clynder
 
well good news i started the car today and it took it around the block and it worked fine so i think the clutch isnt fried. my friend told me my master clynder is not relaseing all the way after i let off the pedal which means the pessure plate is holding the clutch some what in and makeing it rub instead of griping so im going to put a new master in and see if that fixs the problem.
 
yeah i had released it out some cause it would'nt enguage the clutch before so i will try and screw it back in and also bleed the air out of the lines cause it dose leak fluid under my dash and by the time i noticed it the fluid holder was empty so i think some air probly got into the lines as well.
