a few things not working

First of all, what all can I check for my dash lights? The warning lights come on but they don't light up. what about the speedometer, its not turning what do i look for. How do I tell if my clutch master cylinder needs to be replaced? I just replaced the slave cylinder and the clutch fluid just disappears, its not on the firewall the hose or the slave i just dont know. also my tire has a slow leak and i can hear it coming from this plug someone put in there, but i think the hole might have been to big. Could i just plug again beside that plug? sometimes the car might stutter if i hit the gas hard under like 1400rpm.

too many problems

First check your fuse for your instrument lights, thats the most common. Then if it's not that, idid not pay attentipn to what year yoy have. If it is 84-85 they have a seperate dimmer for the dash lights that go out. Your speedo, check where it goes
into the transmission to make sure it's tight, otherwise at the back of the instrument cluster, cable may be broken, not common though. Take your tire in and get oit patched not a plug, it's dangerous. The clutch master leaks inside the vehicle, if you have replaced the slave and blled the system and still leaking , it's the master. Stutter like you describe depends on engine rpm and gear, if you have it into tall of a gear it will do that, these motors are made to rev, do not baby them or you will wind up with carbon lock. Now buy a haynes manual and start educating
yourself about the rx. rx7doctor
