I have been having problems with my clutch. About a week ago, my clutch was stuck to the floor. I pop the hood and notice my clutch reservoir bone dry. I fill it, bleed it and the clutch feels brand new. Then a week later, the clutch is starting to feel really loose again. Engaging very low, rough shifting into 1st and 2nd, basically showing the same symptoms as before the clutch got stuck to the floor. I pop the hood, and notice my clutch reservoir at the MIN level. Obviously something is leaking, because it should not go down that fast. I filled it up and put the cap back on, hoping to make it driveable till I can find the problem. I ordered a slave cylinder, thinking that might be the problem. Other than replacing the slave, what would you guys suggest? Ever felt similar with the clutch? Do you think this is the problem? Any information you guys have would be great.

 

You have a bad clutch master or slave. Somewhere it's leaking. If it's not up top, you might not see it.

 

Would you recommend I just keep topping it off until the slave gets here? And then see if that fixes it?

 

Yeah, just keep it topped up and bled out

 

I didn't bleed it the last time I
Topped off. Is it necessary to bleed everytime? It wasn't bone dry, just low

 

Bump.

 

No, just as long as you don't let it run dry.

 

Thank you so much

 

How much fluid are you using a day? Also check inside the car where the master cylinder bolts up. Mine was leaking in there before i replaced my master cylinder.

 

Where exactly do I look? I'm a newbie haha. But no, I haven't Checked. I was told it was probably the slave and I should replace that first.

 

Trace your clutch pedal to the point where you see a metal retainer and cotter pin. There's a threaded rod attached to it. Look just past that and that is where the clutch master cylinder comes through from the engine compartment. My pinion was leaking fluid from there. Warrantied the master cylinder and so far so good for now. The slave cylinder as stated could be a problem but I would think you could see the leak if that's the case.
