my shifter seems to be getting harder and harder to get ino gear every day. it feels like i am having to go through 2 gears to ge it into one. i have to push my clutch in really hard to get it into first. anything i should check to try and figure ut what is going on? thanx

 

Check your Clutch Fluid Level.

Does your pedal feel soft, does it stick at the floor?

 

yeah hes right, my master went out today! if u have front floormats, feel under it on the carpet. if u pull up a hand full of lube ur master cylinder is going out.

 

the pedel is more tough then loose. there is some when i pull up my floor mate but not to much. where is the clutch fluid located? in the side of my floor area?

 

pop the hood and its the little grey capped reservoir right in front of the drivers side windshield wiper (on a 5th gen that is)

 

ok ya it is good. half way full

 

make sure that little plastic thing in there stays afloat, as soon as it starts pumping in air.. ur gonna need to bleed it.. fair warning.

and ur clutch master cylinder is on its way out if u got wet carpet.

 

ok so my fluid is green right? becuase all my resvoir caps say brake fluid fo some ungodly reason. how do i go about bleeding it. what should i do about the master?

 

I don't know anything about Green fluid.. But Clutch Fluid is the same thing as Brake Fluid..

You need to replace the Master Cylinder if you have Fluid inside your car.


...I have a used one if you don't want to buy a new one...

What doe sit mean if your clutch feels softer than usual?

I think i'm having an issue with mine as well.

 

You could be low on fluid and/or leaking fluid. Could be from the Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder, or the Hardline in between. There's also a dampener in the clutch line that is prone to leaking.

 

how many miles on this car, it could need a clutch. if not then either the clutch master or slave. also how close to the floor does the clutch engage?

 

ok thanx man i got it under control. thanx for the the help much appreciated

 

so what was it?
