Help: Problems with Clutch Engaging.
Car: 95 GSR with only I/H/E Stock OEM clutch from when it was new with 88,000 miles on the car.
*I did search, but came up with minimal on my specific problem*
It started around two months ago. I had problems engaging my clutch when i FIRST turned on my car. It drove fine ten minutes before hand. So, I adjusted the pedal so it would catch higher and it fixed the problem. I should of KNOWN something was wrong then but i was trying to push it out of my mind.
Recently It happened again, Around a week ago i was leaving work and it Did the same problem. I sat in the parking lot for about 5 minutes messing with it, turning the car off then back on pumping the clutch,etc. It finally caught and got it home. Since then i cannot get it any gear. When i attempt to put it in Reverse it grinds. It will not go into any gear.
I Figured it was the slave cylinder because the clutch wasnt engaging. I flushed the system and went about checking for any irregular noise. The only noise was a squeaking noise that it made one day, but dismissed it. I checked to see if there were any leaks or any more of a reason to suspect the slave cylinder, i came up empty.
I have come to think its either the clutch or something wrong with the Tranny (
). I am prepared to buy a new clutch, but figured i would ask around and see if anyone knew anything about my specific problem. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
