Exclamation Clutch?

Just Last week i felt no clutch pedal, openened the hood, and the fluid level was low. Now the fluid is lower than before. What can this be? Slave Cylinder? The line itself?

What do you mean you felt no clutch pedal?

I had a similar problem and they had to change the thing that holds the hydraulic fluid w/e ness because we have hydraulic clutches... its bad to drive it that way too... so take it to a shop asap

Yep... thats what happened to me aswell... take it to a shop immediately because the gears get even harder to change. I was sitting at a stop sign for about 15 seconds trying to put it in first...

It maybe your master cylinder or your slave cylinder. Look around for fluid leaking. The slave is in the front of the car on your left. I would also check at the firewall inside the car by the clutch pedal to see if the master cylinder is leaking.

When I had it fixed it was the master cylinder leaking fluid.
