my problem...i am able to shift into gears ok, but if i hold my clutch down too long it like looses its pressure and i get stuck into whatever gear..unless i am able to move and release my clutch i am stuck in gear or die out... what is my problem?

 

sounds to me like the fingers on your pressure plate are getting worn out.

may as well replace the clutch disk and throwout bearing while you're in there.

and on the new clutch..don't hold the clutch in all the time(like at stoplights and such.)

 

I would think the problem is either the master or slave cylinder for the hidrolic clutch. if it was your clutch itself you wouldn't be able to pull out or stall the car by releasing the peddle. Sorry it could also be a through bearing but thats less likly. As that would create a problem as soon as you would push the peddle.

 

Its your clutch hydraulics.

 

++
you have a leak in the hydrolics

 

Is your clutch master reservoir low? First check the back of the slave cylinder for fluid, if it is
dry then its your clutch master as long as the hose is not leaking. Recommend that you replace both at same time. rx7doctor

Well, when I had my car in first and wasn't touching any of the pedals and it *didn't* stall... I kinda figured mine was toast

thanks guys... well i was working on my car today and i beleive the problem is the clutch slave.. i have rebuilt this before about 7mts ago but i think it went bad again, im gonna just go ahead and buy a new cylinder, i dont wanna rebuild and have the same problem once again, and i already rebuilt my clutch master a while back so i dont think its that...

 

Always the slave cilinder.... they tend to go bad after years, rebuild kit are easy availeble and cheap

 

Hey, Hey.......Mine did that when the pilot bearng went out. Just got it back up. What a PITA!!!
