Default Clutch Problem... I hate clutch problems..

Ok, when I push in my clutch is goes straight to the floor, and has no pressure really behind it, and doesn't spring back up after being pressed.. I checked the clutch fluid, and it was EXTREMELY low.. so I thought HRMM problem solved.. added some pumped the clutch... but nothing.. still same problem.. any other suggestions? It can't be the clutch is bad.. its not even a year old.. and its an ACT and I haven't even had the time to race it... so any suggestions would be welcome.

If the fluid got really low, it probably needs to be bled out.

Oh man....

Do you know how to bleed brakes? If so, do the same thing to the clutch. Just follow the line from the master cylinder to the front part of the tranny/motor. If you don't know how to do that, you're in a world of hurt...

It's not too hard. You'll need a 8mm open-end wrench and a brake bleeder bottle.

Find the bleed nipple. Put the semi-full bleeder bottle on the nipple w/ the wrench on the nipple first. Fill the master cylinder w/ fluid and keep the cap off. Open the nipple w/ the wrench. Push the clutch pedal down. Close the nipple. Pull the clutch pedal up.

Repeat the opening/closing pushing/pulling until the pedal will have a nice firm feel to it w/ no play when the nipple is closed and you press down on the pedal.
