i started my car this morning and my clutch had no pressure and i pushed and it just popped down.and i pull it up and pops back up like nothing is catching.what could it b..thx

 

I suspect a leak in the clutch hydralic system, and you've lost sufficient fluid to render it inoperative. You're going to have to determine whats' leaking.

Yo P, quit acting all smart and answering all the questions haha! You're everywhere man with all the RIGHT answers!

But yeah he's right you got a leak on either the slave or the master. Check up underneath the pedal for a leak, and also check on the tranny near your radiator fans for fluid. Could be low and you got air in there but its doubtful. Once you fix the problem you're gonna have to buy a vaccuum bleeder cuz it'll be a bitch to bleed it by hand...that's what I hear anyways.

 

actually you can bleed it with a rubber glove if you don't have the money for a vaccum bleeder. That's how i do it. Just put the glove on your right hand. Crack the bleeder with your left make a cup with your right put it over the slave resevoir and push down. That pushes the fluid through just like that. Repeat untill you see air free clean fluid coming out. (having long arms doesn't hurt either)

ok thnks for the replys but i was still a little sleepy when i wrote that.K this is the problem usually u would have to push in ur clutch to start the car but i couldnt push the clutch in due to me just tapping th eclutch with my foot once and it just stayed at the bottom and never pops back up until u have to lift the clutch up with ur foot and it just pops right back up.so i can start my car with out pushing the clutch in.this problem never happened to me before so im trying to go into details.since my clutch is out that means ill have to tow it then.the thing is too i can go into all gears like the clutch iis in already.i didnt drive it after i found it out this moring.thank you alll for the replys and help i appreaciate it.

could i use a brake bleeder to bleed the slave or master cylinder?

 

have someone pump up the clutch pedal . it will feel nothing for a while but keep on doing it . ask them to hold it down after they pump it up a few times ( 5-6 ) when pedal is down open up the bleeder screw ( 8mm ) at slave cylinder,, let the air, fluid out, tighten it up and do the procedure again,, repeat this procedure till u got a good pedal and all the air is out, keep eyes on the reservoir do not let it get empty or air will go in the lines again ,,,,use brake fluid to fill reservoir ...
