well I have a pretty big problem. my clutvh started loosing pressure when the car got warm and it got to a point where the pedal only kicked back like 5 inches. not alot. so I kept the car like this for like 3 weeks or so. and now when I was on my way home I passed to kraggen to buy some engine enamel paint (for my brake calipers) and the clutch died completly. it does not let go of the gear when the pedal is fully pressed in. and it does not kick back. I can pull it back by hand, but it does not help. I turn the car off and pump the pedal by hand and it generates pressure. when I turn the car on it looses the pressure completly after I pump it onece and when the pedal is in it engages the clutch again slowly. and when I pump the clutch the fluid level of the recervoir drops. what's going on? I heard that my Slave cylinder might have gone out. is this true? or what else should I replace?

Long story short. the car lost the clutch pedal pressure completly and the pedal dosen't kick back. I can pull it back but it still does not get any pressure.

Sounds like slave cylinder, you could try to bleed the system to troubleshoot the problem but ultimatley it seems like you may be in need of one.

Bardabe,
If you have an issue, don't hijack someone else's thread.
Start a new one.
Thread split.

I doesn't sound like a clutch problem...it sounds like you need a slave cylinder. Consider yourself lucky....the slave cylinder is only $30 and quite easy to replace.
