I think I need to replace the slave cylinder and or master (84 gs).

It's a little hard to shift into 1st and 2nd. After I drive it a while it becomes
easier to shift into 1 or 2. 3-5 no problems.

Rusty sat for at least 3+ years.. rusting. There was too much fluid so took out just enough to be over the min marker about 1/8 an inch.

The fluid is brown and old. Breaks feel a bit mushy.

Input requested.

Brakes r unrelated, suggest new fluid everywhere and maybe new brake lines for the brakes

ive found when a slave is going:
Sometimes works, after use the pedal will get stuck to the floor or halway and the travel will become next to none for the clutch. Still kinda workish but defeintly not right.

Just some insight of when my slave went

If its never been replaced might be good to, they are like 25 bucks i think

djessence

oh and for the brakes bleed all the lines, could be air there, and bleed the clutch as well, mite help abit

Doesn't sound like a clutch hydraulic sytem problem because it normally gets worse not better with time.
When slave went, I felt a soft clutch then literally had three shifts before the clutch pedal rested on the floor.

Bleed your clutch fluid but it's probably your tranny.

djessence

have you ever replaced the trans fluid? probably cant help for the 30 it will cost

The tranny fluid was fresh so I didn't change it but had it topped off. Yea I did hear a little click when moving down to 2 from morning start. After I am in 5th for a few miles it shifts normally into 1st or 2nd. Could be something in there. Hope it's the clutch and not something in the gearbox. I'll replace the slave and bleed 1st then see how it goes. It's all rusty crusty anyway i'll just get rebuilt from autozone.

new from autozone, is probably pretty cheap. and new is usually better

I don't want to put $$$ into this. It's a parts car that's gonna be retired soon. Look at the pics thread in the archive. The body is shot.

Besides I have a friend there. One of the employees has a 12a station wagon and knows a lot.

I just won't use anything from "arnley" it's crap. But most of there stuff is ok and the warranty is good.

There, the entire sets like 60 bucks. Replace both the slave AND the master at the same time. I dont do it unless I do the entire caboodle, so to speak.

I dont know if it'll help, but rockauto is were I get my stuff from and it saves me lots o cash

Same here, clutch pedal stuck all the way to the floor when the slave went, i would jsut replace it. Better to be safe then sorry

if it gets easier when you drive then its probably just the cold weather affecting the transmission. mine does it when its cold and the mitsushitty eclipse i used to have also done it when it was cold. i replaced the slave cylinder about 2 months ago. clutch pedal feels great and when it gets cold its still hard to shift. after it warms up it shifts normally.

i get the same thing when the mornings r really cold. until the tranny warms up, it's harder to get into first, shifter movement is stiff, and even the tach needle doesn't move til the interior warms up a bit.

That is a good point, i havent driven my car in the cold in a while, but i remember the tranny to be a little tight when it was cold too

Either change ALL the fluids like you should have after the car sat for 3 years, or drive it and don't complain.
