So i sat this earlier this morning in my car ran some errands. It's been about 85-90 degreas here for the past week and I been running my ac more then usual.

After I ran those errands this morning went inside the house for about 30 min got in my car and clucth pedal went straight to the floor after me pressing it just a tiny bit. Turned the car on ( thought that was going to do something) turned over but coudent put it in gear. Immediately turned the car off poped the hood Andy clucth fluid was completely drained.

Now I'm thinking a leak somewhere probably going to fill the fluid and take it to a shop later today.

And I have a big puddle of water yes it's only water underneath my car.


Any input would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you

 

when was the last time you checked the fluid level? If it's been a while, I wouldn't necessarily think it's a leak since fluid level can drop through normal operation.

 

It's been a while but like my concern is its completely empty like there isn't a drop in there

 

If that's the case, I would fill it up and monitor for leaks. The water is likely from your AC.

 

Found the leak. Cant exactly located it but I see it dripping underneath my car. Now my question is my buddy's shop is about 15 mins away. It takes about 5 mins till it finnsly drains. Could I drove my car there and stop and refil on the way without hurting the system. Clutch transmission etc....

 

And how much r the lines for them

 

its probably a bad slave cylinder which was common on the 07 and early 08s and was covered under voluntary recall by the dealership. if you already had that done call and see if they will look into it again for you else have to get it fixed yourself

 

Koolyear ur right it was the slave cylinder now I replaced the clucth last year should I call them again just to see if they would replace it or...


And if not I need to buy a new slave clyinder there charging me around 300 for the labor

 

Just called a dealer gave my vin to the service manger he told me there is no recalls according to my vin number...


Where would be the best place to buy a slave clyinder

 

^ ya try the dealership first maybe they will replace it under the extended voluntary recall seeing the new slave died so quickly but most probably they wont but worth a try.

Labor will be on the high side cause they need to pull the tranny off the engine to replace the slave cyl as its within the housing, imo anything between 200-300 is acceptable but shopping around does not hurt

 

thats not good... PM rick on this forum and see whats the best price he can get you my guess is around maybe $40-60... if you have some extra $$ i recommend getting the Z1 CSC which is much more stronger than the OEM slave for ~100 HERE... FYI these Z1 CSC require some modification to install but come with instructions which should be easy to follow for any shop.

Also one of the most common issues for the slave cyl to go bad is dirty fluid and/or riding the clutch... keep an eye on the clutch fluid

Disclaimer: iv never used the Z1 CSC myself or driven a G with it, this info is just from my research online and it seems most ppl are happy with the switch but do some research of your own before spending the $$ since i cant be held liable

What u guys think ?

 

Was the slave cylinder replaced when you did the clutch job last year? If so, I would think there should be a warranty on it. If it's the original though, and it's not included in the recall, then unfortunately it's on you.

HMMM . . . Re-reading the previous posts made me want to clarify whether the service rep said that the VIN number wasn't included in the recall, or if it had already been performed on that VIN so it wasn't covered again.
