This is my first post at this forum, and I hope I can get some help!

Yesterday afternoon I went out to start my car to go to class, and it started just fine and normally. Then when I pushed the clutch in to put it into reverse there was resistance, like it wasn't hitting the pressure plate. The clutch just felt really loose. I couldn't get the car into gear at all. I checked the brake fluid and it was lower than the minimum line. I filled that up and pushed the clutch in and out to check for leaks and there was none. I don't know if it has something to do with the slave cylinder or what not. What should I do?? Thanks for any help!!!!

Welcome to Automotive Forums!

You've probably got some air in the slave cylinder. Bleeding it should solve the problem. If you want to do it yourself it isn't that hard. A shop will do it for around $60.00.

To bleed the slave cylinder:
1. Fill the brake/clutch master cylinder.
2. Fit a hose over the bleeder valve and route it into a jar with clean brake fluid in it.
3. Have a another person pump the clutch 2 or 3 times and then hold it to
the floor.
4. Open the bleeder valve and let air escape into the fluid jar.
5. Close the bleeder valve and repeat steps 4 and 5 until no more bubbles show up in the jar.

There is a chance the clutch master cylinder needs to be replaced. Figure on another $200 to get that done if you have someone do it for you.
