lol cool =) u guys have a nice LEGO night haha

 

wow a DMM TL. don't see those very often

 

ive seen one in brooklyn makes as 2 =)

 

could you be more specific of the problem? and how did it start?

 

idk how to explain it i havent raced on it... i dont feel the clutch anymore it just got soft from no where

 

sorry for being pain in the ass ='/

 

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

 

im sorry im a neeb where can i find it to check?

 

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)

 

dang! thenx bro ill check it out tonight and ill let u know hopefully nothing is wrong cz it seems like it soft for like 30min of drive then it gets harder for the rest of the time so ill let u know when i check the things u said thenx!

 

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

 

i checked with friends they say that it most def looks like a leak

 

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.
