Where can i get tranny work?

Yo guys

So i was driving home through PV and all the sudden my clutch lost pressure and went dead on the floor. While i was waiting for the tow truck i started to pump it and got some pressure back, but not enough to put it in gear.

So can someone explain to me what went wrong

and

how do i fix it?

Thanks
Phil

Clutch Master or Slave Cylinder, or both.

just donate it to the salvation army or cancer society. that will solve all your headaches, and that's how you fix it.

yea its really not that hard. go look in the FSM if you need to see where the location of the master/slave are. its literraly 4 bolts to remove both master and slave. and a flarenut wrench to remove the slave line.

Don't listen to them. Your car is now worthless.

However, I offer a free tow service in exchange for free title.

i heard that cops are all over PV now. They like to hide out in the entrances
of residential areas. PV is a fun little place to practice though.
