[quote=g6civcx;1768149]In order of cost:

* Check the clutch pedal. Sometimes the pedal box gets bent or broken and the pushrod isn't going all the way into the master cylinder.

* Check the fluid level in the master cylinder.

* Check under the car for leaks.

* Have someone work the pedal and look under the car to see if the slave is moving.

also look up inside the car, where the pedal adjustment screw is. the rod that is attached to this screw and your pedal- id it is leaking fluid down the firewall or out of the rod, your master cylinder is going out.

last weekend my MC and SC both went out as did one of my friends. his cost $35 in parts and did the work himself... mine cost $280 because i had a shop do it
