I would say yes from my experience with totally annihilated clutch discs. Take off the inspection cover on the bell housing and look in there and run your fingers in there, smell for burnt clutch and look for dust.

Start w/ the basics...

Have you checked the master cylinder fluid level?
Have you checked if the slave is moving when you push in the clutch?

I would think the issues above would not allow him to go into gear at all without grinding the hell out of it, and if he did the car would want to move. Seems like it will go into gear but not move.

moorebl

correct it will go in gear but the car will not move...it may catch for like a inch of car movement bt even that is slow. ...will bleeding the entire system helpful...there was fluid in the master

moorebl

i will try bleeding the system as it hasnt been done by me yet...homefully the slave just has air in it.. the po said the car did move 15 years ago when he got it in his garage..lol

moorebl

so i opened the slave cylinder and opened the reservoir and started pumpin...fluid was present...but nothing...is my clutch master cylinder to blame or the slave or is it good routine to just replace them both

NismoPick

What does "but nothing" mean? As in the slave isn't moving?

Bleed the system. 15 year old fluid needs to be replaced anyway.....

The hydraulic system is there to put pressure on the pressure plate and disengage the clutch, granted I would replace and bleed the system if necessary since its been 15 years or whatever, but it wont help you move the car. If you had issues getting it in gear then I would say its the hyd system. UNLESS the slave is stuck in the release position! or something

i replaced the slave and master and presto it moves...next.after running for like 5 min at idle .idles fine i push the gas and i hear popping comming from the air flow meter..its actually moving and sputtering. plugs were also changed..where can i get a air flow meter..is this a common issue

thats messed up i never had a car not move in gear because the master or slave were messed up, usualy grind the **** to get it in! good on ya tho cheaper then clutch job.
