Alright, I have a stock 99 type-sh, 131k on it. It's always driven fine but just the other day when I got in my car after work it would not go into gear. Well it would go in, but I'd have to push as hard as I could in order to do so. It wasn't just 1st gear either, ever gear including reverse. After the car warmed up for 10-15 minutes it would go into gear, but it didn't feel normal. This is hard to explain but my gearbox felt 'empty' I just couldn't feel anything, it would go into gear, but just would not feel right. Same problem today except it's become even harder to get it into 1st gear, others are still sloppy however. And I can't feel anything when I push in the clutch, there is no resistence what-so-ever. The clutch still grabs and the car is driveable, thing is I need this car to get to school/work Tuesday and today being New Years Day, nothing's open. I'm taking it in first day tomorrow morning but i'd like to get things going as quick as possible so I can have the car back. If anybody can help me out, help pin-point the problem i'd be extremely grateful.

Thanks in advance guys, happy new years.

 

Sounds like a simple Clutch Master Cylinder bleeding is in order.

 

I'd check your tranny fluid and your clutch fluid levels. Don't drive it until you fix it. It might be a pain now, but just think if you mess something up. You're going to be out of more time and definitely more money. Don't force it into gear. Find the problem. Fix the problem.

 

sounds like the clutch slave cyilinder or the throw out bearing..get a buddy to depress the clutch and look under the hood to see if the slave cyilinder has a full range of motion?

 

Alright I filled up the clutch fluid which was pretty low. Now it shifts perfectly but the clutch is still mushy as all hell. There is definetly a leak, I don't know what it is exactly yet, looks like clutch or brake fluid but it seems like too much to be either of those. I'm not sure if it's trannsmission fluid, I don't know what that looks like or anything. The fluid is clear, very little smell that's about the best description I have. I don't have anybody that could help me out so I can't get under the car right now so I can't get under it very well, I'll try as soon as I get a chance though.
