edit: 3 months later, my lazy ass finally tends to the problem. details on page 2
Just wondering if anyone has encountered a problem like this and knows of anyway to fix it.
Did an oil change and made the drive down to JMU this past weekend. While I was down there I noticed my clutch starting to chatter a little on 1st gear takeoffs. Also the engagement point started to feel a little lower.
Made the drive home back to nova 3 days later and after work one day I could feel a little loss in pedal pressure and eventually the engagement point was so low that I just couldn't get it in gear.
If I cut the engine, I could put it in gear then start it up and get moving again. But now when I'm at a stop I can't get it into any gear. Sometimes if I'm lucky i can force it in with some grinding.
Clutch fluid level is normal. I don't spot any leaks along the lines or near the clutch pedal. I'm going to find time to flush the tranny fluid just because of all the grinding.
165k miles. master or slave cylinder died?
any thoughts? :?[/b]
