Hey guys my name is Laura, I just recently bought a black 1989 mazda rx 7 gtu non turbo, unfortunately (for right now ha). It is definitely a project car but has a lot of life in him left. As much as I know from the owner before, who only had it for a month, it has a rebuilt motor with about 15k on it. I dont have cats on it and my exhaust is all messed up as well as my manifold. i could go on forever about whats wrong with it. hopefully i can learn more here and fix it up myself, you gotta start somewhere right?

 

welcome...new myself, good luck with fixing it up

 

welcome to the club. be prepared to get frustrated but have patience because it pays off. nothing ever goes as expected with a 20 year old car

 

haha you have no idea! i just watched it get pulled on a flat bed the other day because i think my clutch spring went out. my clutch pedal sticks to the floor and doesnt come back up. and if i touch it with my foot it gets sucked down to the floor and i hvae to literally pull it up from the floor. hopefully it is just the spring and i can find just a spring and not a whole kit. oh and the joy begins! haha

 

sounds like your slave cylinder went out. thats if its a hydraulic clutch, i dont know much about rx7's specifically

 

dang! same problem here... slave cyl took a dump on me

 

clutch system is hydrolic. it could be either the slave or master cyl.

 

its prob the slave cylinder or if not check the line for the clutch perhaps u have a leak . . . a bad one

 

Dude, I got also a RX7 3RD GEN.
I love when I drive it.
thanks

 

i dont have a hydraulic clutch, its cable and how do you know if your master or slave cylinder go out? i know where the master cylinder is and it looks fine to me.

if i were to have a leak, which seems like i do in this car, what should i look for or where..?

 

Welcome
