Savanna RX-7 GT-X

Maybe I blind, but I looked and didnt find anything first.

After my CLutch got stuck tot he floor, and noticed it was just needing fluid, while I was sitting in the car getting it better, I accidently moved the stick around thru all gears with the car off and no clutch in. I was told it was ok, but I want to be sure nothing is screwed up. I drive it, and it works fine. Just want to get this off my mind.

I had the same thing happen and just thought all it needed was fluid. Come to find out the slave cylinder was leaking and finally got to the point that the system would not hold any pressure. I had to look closely at the slave cylinder because the leak had a discrete path.

The shifter should be movable with the engine off and not pressing the clutch. That is normal.

If it it NOT movable when the engine IS running and the clutch IS pressed, then it signifies a bad pilot bearing, a bad clutch, or bad clutch hydraulics.

If it is NOT movable when the engine IS NOT running regardless of clutch, I dunno what it signifies, but rest assured, it's bad.

I suspect you have bad clutch hydraulics anyhow... I'd look up under your dash where the clutch pedal pushrod goes through the firewall to the clutch master... Or I'd check the slave. (Follow the pipe from the clutch master.) If the fluid was low, it musta went somewhere.

Ok, I got all the answeres I needed, and my Fluid, it was just super low. No leaking of any sort, and everything runs the same as it did before.

The fluid is low because there is a LEAK. Find it and fix it.

You have a slow leak some where and it will work fine for a while, then get progressively worse.

As Pele and trochoid said, fluid can't just dissapear. If it's low, it had to go somewhere, so you must have a leak.

Check carefully around both cylinders and the hose. It might not be a big leak, but it'd be better to find it now than have your clutch fail while driving.

I've rebuilt master and slave cylinders. It's easy!

It was low, becuase it was neglected. I could not even find anything about it till it got to pretty much the point of empty.
