Was driving last night when clutch pedal lost most of its pressure, engagement point almost dropped to the ground, and really hard to get it into gear. Found out that I could pump up the pedal a bunch each time I want to shift. Bad master cylinder or just needs to fill & bleed clutch fluid? Checked a few days ago and it was low, don't know why I didn't fill it up

Loss of fluid only means one thing. A leak, find it and fix it. |

Check your slave cylinder also. |

Thanks guys! Filled up and bled the system, felt better last night but a bit more mushy today. Checked master cylinder rod by pedal and in engine bay and it didn't look like it was leaking... Guess I'll try bleeding again tonight? |

Like Christ said, you have a leak somewhere. You need to find it, if there isn't fluid on the carpet under the pedal then it is most likely your slave cylinder. I did have a SS clutch line develop a pin hole leak once on my car, it was very dangerous as every time I hit the clutch it sprayed hydraulic fluid towards my exhaust. FIND THAT LEAK!!!!! |

I've had my slave go ba out of no were , and had the same synthoms as you. All my fluid was leaking out of the slave . Had to add fluid every day and to the point that just as i would pour in fresh fluid it would come out the slave. |

Thanks for the help guys! It was the slave, and Autozone gave me the wrong part -_- Luckily the guys at RRE used the AZ to rebuild the stocker (7pm and none of the dealers had it in stock that I could get to) |

Yeah, apparently O'Reilly has/can order the Exedy ones. Heard that it's comparable/better than OEM? |
