turbospec29 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I picked up this car like 4 weeks ago. Hadn't shown signs of a clutch issue until 2 nights ago. After driving around for a bit, I come to a light, I push the clutch to the floor and it doesnt dissengage. I PULL the car out of gear to stop. Now I press the clutch and it releases just enough to get back into gear and find a spot to park. I check the resevoir and its dry, but there are no sings of a leak, atleast not brake fluid (oil is another story ) . I fill it up and it will work, but loses pressure if I hold it down for too long. Meaning, if I want to change a gear its good, but I i hold it in for like 5 seconds the clutch will start to engage on its own. Anyone know what might be happening, like I said it would be easier if I could find the leak but I havent found anything. Sound like a bad slave cylinder? p.s. anyone want a 92 eclipse?

BlackMess Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Check inside the car under the dash board on the firewall. I had the same problem with mine and the master went bad and was leaking under the carpet. It was almost impossible to notice that there was fluid underneath the carpet way up under the dash.

Dr. Apex Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 ^Just like they said, get up under that dash and look and see if it's leaking, both my turbo cars did this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 My brother was having the same problem in his DSM. The battery was leaking acid right onto the clutch line and corroded a hole in it. It was very hard to tell at first, just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
