Car has been started but not driven for a little over a month.
Today, I went to start car and clutch went to floor. Car started but I could not put in gear. Any ideas what could be problem. Or what to check.

Thanks in advance for any help

 

bad clutch master cylinder......or lots of air in the line try bleeding it...if thats not it i would get a new master cylinder and slave cylinder that way they are both new

mine went out with in 2 weeks of each other i wish i would have just changed them at the same time it sucks drivin home in 3

 

Yep sounds about like what happened to mine.

Your lucky those are easy fix's! Back on the road in no time!

 

yep, clutch cylinders, just replace both of em only takes like 2 hours. like $60 from VB.

 

had this happen to mine too. ran me 80 at my local global auto parts for master cylinder and i think like 40 for slave

took me about 2.5 hours to do it...first time ive worked on a hydraulic clutch though.

 

need we say more??

 

Oh yea make sure you get a BIG bottle of brake fluid! You will use it trust me!

 

Best price will be found at www.rockauto.com (at least the best that I have found). They are pretty good people to deal with too.

 

Tanks so much for the info..

as a thank you if any of you guy need rims or a airfilter you just have to pay shipping..

Rims = I wanted to try and take of clear coat off, so i bought these rims to test with..

Big Blue = Was going to pwder Coat, but did not work out. In great shape

Items are free just pay the shipping

I guess fairest way is 1st one to post a claim on thread owns them.. (please only take if you could use them, and your not looking to re-sell them)

will post pics after i eat some breakfest.

 

I'll pm you, now, as I'll take "big blue" (air cleaner canister w/ snorkel)..

 

Big Blue ..grin.. is yours. (air cleaner) ..

 

How about an air filter for a dellorto carb! You got one of those???

 

Sorry MattG, Only had the extra stock one .

 

I think you have hit on a great new concept, ask for advice, recieve it, give parts away. If that's the case, I could have built at least one car from scratch by now.

So, gents, where's all my parts?

 

You know what I find the funniest about this whole deal.

ChasRX gave no advice, yet still gets the air cleaner!!!! I gave two good ones and aint got jack to show for it! lol

 

hey mattG i got you the air cleaner for the dellorto not free tho lol

 

just recently dealt with this issue...look behind your oil filter, and check the slave cylinder for leakage..should that be leaking you can refill your mc, and pump the clutch pedal til you get the pressure back in it..depending on how bad the leak is you could drive it awhile, or less than a few hours esp in the cold weather...cinch to replace the components..but make sure you get a new rubber hose while you're at it, and replace both the mc and sc..will save later headaches
cheers
