Default What the Hell is Wrong?????Please

I got a 92 prelude si and its a stick and I leave it in gear when i park. This morning when i get in the car and start it up, its starts up fine. but while the clutch pedel is all the way in and the car is in gear the car starts moving forward. Also when the clutch was all the way in i couldn't get the damn thing outta 2nd gear. When i finally got it outta second, i was pushing the clutch pedal in and out but it wouldn't come all the way out. The pedal would get stuck and not come out. I looked and it wasn't caught on anything but just wouldn't come out. Also i noticed that it takes hardly any effort to push the clutch in now. I then let the car warm up for about 5 min, and tried putting it in gear but for the love of god it just wouldn't get into a gear. What the hell is wrong with my car??????

Well you either blew the clutch or your linkage is messed up. That's my guess.

the clutch fluid was low and sucked in some air, or maybe the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder are leaking somehow. I would say try bleeding the clutch and see what happens.

it was bone dry and you added it in there....Now you have a realy big air bubble in there probally. did you make sure to pump the clutch while adding the fluid.

my guess is it's on the front of the tanny (clutch slave cylinder)... you should see it, black think right in the front with a small hard line running to it. it should have a screw onnipple simialr to the brakes. just have someone pump on the clutch then hold the clutch in, then easy the nipple out a little at a time until fluid squirts out, then close it back off imediatley... that should eliminat the prob.... i hope

you have to bleed the fluid through your clutch slave. attached to the tranny. basically the same as bleeding brake fluid.

however, i'd try to concentrate on the system itself and see if you have a leak.

do you know exactly why you had no clutch fluid at all? is your master cylinder/slave still good.

it's just odd that you'd lose all your fluid.

by adding it and bleeding it, you may just lose it again.

check 4 leaks first... then add fluid and bleed it . im sure there is a leak. when u find it , fix the problem . you will prob have to change the slave cyl and clutch master, or rebuilt it ur self
