today on my way to the mall my car felt fine when all of a sudden sum gears didnt wanna go in or went in rough. the gearbox felt really rough. also pulling out of the parking lot it would shake a little with the gears still going in roughly. i looked at the cluth fluid cup and it had but it was filthy with alot of dirt inside. can anyone tell me what could be wrong? thanks

 

try bleeding the clutch first and see if it improves any. just from the sounds of it...sounds like what just happened to my clutch. (exedy clutch disc failed ..spring retainers broke)

 

thanks for the help..but if we have the same problem and my spring retainers broke...do i just need new spring retainers or a whole new clutch or what?

depends on how bad it really is. I say bleed the clutch like he said and get back to us if it helped any.
And if you are a religious person i advise you to pray. Clutch work isn't so bad, but if its your trany then expect to fork out some cash.

 

nah its not the tranny because i havent heard no grinding yet, because when the gears dont wanna go in i pump the clutch a couple times and it goes in perfect. i looked in the clutch fluid and its all dirty so im guessing the cylinder that sits on the firewall is messed up. its $54 bucks. so im gonna go ahead and buy it and replace it and see what happens. also they told me it could be the Slave cylinder. i might just replace both. thanks for the help

 

you'd probably be ok just flushing it all out and using what you've got, but if you feel like changing the master and slave cylinders.....go ahead, just be sure to flush the lines too to get all the dirt out. make sure it's completely bled. sometimes i bleed it till i think i'm done, and then i find out that it still had a little air in it, so i have to bleed it over again.

 

thanks alot im gonna try bleeding it completely first and see if it goes back to normal. and if not ill go ahead and replace the cylinder. thanks again
