Could be a pressure issure. See if your reservoir is full of fluid or get it flushed.

Start up engine , LEAVE HANDBRAKE ON, put car in fourth gear, increase the revs a bit ,slowly let clutch out, if it stalls then your clutch plate is probably ok. but if it dosen't stall and you are still stationary then I'd say your clutch is on way out.


Check your fluid level for the clutch. Open your hood, pull the right side cover which is right next to the cowl. The cover itself say's "Brake fluid, clutch fluid". If the clutch fluid is low either you have a leak OR the clutch is worn.

TO do this clutch is big bucks. I think it's around 1,000-1,500 give or take. The flywheel alone is around $500-600 bucks (That's if you really need one)

So I checked the clutch oil it's a little bit lower then the line it shows on cold engine idk if I should drive around and then check and it doesn't stall from 4th gear

Again, either a leak or your clutch is on it's way out. Lucky for you to diagnose a MT leak is pretty simple... Follow the lines after the reservoir and follow them to the clutch slave. If you notice any lines wet then you found the leak. If you do not notice any lines wet but still low on fluid chances are your clutch is done.
