Need Help Asap!!!!

My clutch died on me about 20 miles from my house.... lucky me right..... ha..


the cylinder is fine and ill explain this the best i can without knowing any of the terms.. so bare with me..

if you follow the line that goes from the cyliner to the metal "container" i guess i would call it to the ruber fitting that goes *i think* to the transmission. that is where the prob is... the whole rubber fitting has come off.. i dont know is this is a zip-tie kind of fix or something a lil more seroius...


PLEASE HELP ME!!!

o i C so the rubber line came off the clutch slave sylinder the at the transmission. you will need to get a new flex line for it, or take the old one to a place that fabricates hydrolic lines they will make you one out of rubber or stainless steal, your choise then you will need to blead the clutch slave like you would on the brakes, you will need some one to pump the clutch and hold it down while some one opens the bleader at the clutch slave, the close it and pump the clutch keep doing that till theres only fluid comeing out and no air (all so make shure hte reservoire dose not get empt while your bleading this will get more air in the system. hope this help you out.

You might be able to find it at a local shop like Autozone or Napa, but chances are even the dealership would have to order it. Rockauto ships fast and is dirt cheap.

You will have the same problem again soon, most likely. The repair/rebuild kits don't last.
The best thing to do is to replace all three hydraulic items. The master, slave, and the hose.

BTW, you can drive it without the clutch, to get it home. It's just not much fun. You can even start it without the clutch, but it has to be in gear.
