alright, i changed the leaking clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. bleed it properly and everything. works fine after i bleed it and goes into gears smoothly, and everything is PERFECTLY fine. then after like 10-20 minutes of driving it, it gradually gets all retarded, it starts to get harder and harder to put it in gear til the point where i have to use all my strength just to put it in gear. and at a stop, the car would move foward when my foot is all the way on the clutch and its in gear and im not giving it gas at all, the car also shakes when im at a stop with the clutch all the way down and in gear. i let the car sit for awhile, take it out for a drive and samething happens, it smooth for a while then gets all retarded. does this sound like a faulty master or slave cylinder, or a messed up clutch? it's an upgraded clutch, if that helps any. please help me.

 

well i would have to say i dont know if it could be the clutch because when you shift you can shift your car into gear without the clutch with little effort.. just by letting off the gas and shifting... but the shaking is weird and the moving is to. is the clutch lines attached correct and not leaking?

 

yea they're all attached and no leakings.

help me

 

if the car is moving with the clutch pedal down then you have a leak somewhere, are you sure fluid is not low or youv'e bled it completely of all air.

 

yea im sure, all the fluid is still at the same level in the resevoir and i looked everywhere for leaks. the car only moves while in gear and my foot all the way down when my car starts to act retarded. but the first couple minutes, it does not do that.

 

you said you replaced the clutch master cylinder, now i have not replaced one before i have done brake master cylinders and you need proper spacing with the pushrod. If not then the piston in the cylinder doesent move enough to fully release the clutch.

 

take it in to the dealer for proper diagnosis.

It sounds like you have a vacuum leak. What your car is doing is the same as when the car is turned off and you pump the pedal. Check all your vacuum line. If you can not see anything then get a spray bottle with soapy water in it and spray all the vacuum lines. You will see bubbles if the line is leaking.

 

what vaccum line would effect the clutch master cylinder? Vaccum leak could effect the brake booster, not the clutch.

its definately a hydraulic problem, your pressure is bleeding off or you still have air in the line.

 

but why would it work fine for like the first 10 minutes of my drive then get all gay on me. this happens even when i dont bleed the clutch before i drive.

 

i would have to drive it to be sure, do you know anyone who knows cars? If so get them to drive it.

 

you bolted the presure plate to spec on the flywheel right? Was the flywheel replaced or resurfaced?

 

i never touched the pressure plate or flywheel, i just replaced the slave and master cylinder that i discovered was leaking. and i have let someone that knows car drove it, samething happen, worked fine, until like 5 minutes into the drive, started getting difficult to put in gear. he said something about when the clutch starts to heat up its harder for it to catch on to the pressure plate(probably not even close to his exact words but something close.), because messed something up by stalling real hard when i was learning how to drive the car. at this point, im waiting for a brand new oem slave and master, and hoping the one i have on my car is messed up. i dont know what to do if my clutch is messed up because i don't have time or the knowledge to replace or fix anything there. so im just praying, thanks for the help.
