Clutch Problem in 88 Vert
Hey guys, I need some help diagnosing my problem.
I push the clutch pedal in and it does not return but maybe about 2 inches. When the pedal is pushed in, the clutch is NOT released (trying to start in first gear stalls the engine).
The fluid in the resivoir is black.
Any ideas?
I'm guessing Master/Slave cylinder. Can someone help me figure out how to diagnose to figure out which one is bad?
Thanks guys!

Change all of it. If the fluid is black, the lines and seals have rotted.
You will need a rebuilt clutch master cyl, rebuilt slave cyl, and flexible clutch line. Your local auto parts store should probably be able to get you the Master and slave, but Corksport is your best bet for the line.

Ok thanks guys, thats what I'm thinking.
Do you think it would be worth my time just to bleed the lines and flush the fluid or just go ahead and start replacing cylinders?
I'd like to go cheapest/easiest route here.

So, which is the cheapest route??? replacing them before the have failed completly as a maintence item... or getting stuck somewhere, paying for/ getting a tow, then having to buy the same parts anyway???
I personally wouldn't waste my time trying to just bleed the system.
