i was driving day, stop at a light and when it turned green, i couldnt shift into any gears. need help or suggestion ASAP

 

check your tranny oil level

 

how do i do that???

 

i smelt my clutch burning yesterday on the freeway too for like a minute. can my clutch be bad??

if its not the fluid, than i need to go buy a clutch set but really short on cash and dont want to buy it if i can get a cheap fix. help ASAP, i need my car running tomorrow. im trying to fix whatever i can today.

 

BUMP... need help or suggestion asap....

 

sounds like your clutch is done. Check your clutch fluid to make sure it's not low and make sure the slave moves when you press the clutch. If these are ok, you need a new clutch pressure plate and disk.

 

where is the clutch slave located??? the fluid is there tho. what happens if the slave doesnt work?

 

bad pressure plate.....

It's located on the front of the engine where the transmission joins it. If it doesn't work, your clutch won't engage.

I'm betting that you need a new clutch though.

 

okay, i didnt hav clutch fluid in there. so its in there now. i can shift into gears when the car is off but not on.

i still dont know how to check the clutch slave tho. how asap.

 

i dont get how i suppose to see the slave move. i tried it on both honda's i hav and then i tried it on a toyota and the toyota works, it moved and i can see it. i dont know how to tell if it works on the honda's tho, no moving parts

 

If you had no fluid it means you have a leak, which means your clutch master cylinder is probably shot. Even though you put fluid in there you didn't bleed it so the air is preventing the clutch from operating. You'll need to replace your clutch master cylinder.

 

for sure that is what i need to do? replace the master clutch slave? is there a way i can fix it so it works? i can get the car to go into gear but i have to step on the clutch super hard to get it in gear. i dont know what to do.

are all clutch master cylinder the same?

 

can i bleed it now?

 

bleed it, it works now. change out the master cylinder and slave soon tho. thanks for the help yo. peace.
