Yea, I'm lookin for someone that repairs transmissions near my area, not having any luck thus far. Closest I can find so far is a 40 minute drive >.<

EDIT: Ok found one thats 1.7 miles away, there snaggin me a quote now. I'm a tad more relieved now.

It sounds like your is not releasing. It could be your slave or master cylinder has gone bad.

[inatalonIXLR8]

I agree. Have you checked your clutch fluid level?

[Digitaleuphoria]

Yea I checked the clutch fluid, it's full. And a friend of mine said its more likely that its the slave or master cylinder too. He said if the clutch went bad, it would have started to slip before it went out. I've never had any trouble with it slipping before, just one day I went out there and it was hard to get into gear then the next it wouldnt go in at all.

I'm going to replace the cylinders in the next day or two, until then, its time to call and get insurance on my camaro I guess.

do you hear any noises from the tranny?

[Digitaleuphoria]

No, Don't hear any noises.

You might have some air in the system? I bet its one of the 2 cylinders also. Good Luck

Ok I know this post is kinda dead but today I worked a bit on it. *Just got the master cylinder in the mail* ... So I changed the master cylinder, just need someone to come home so they can help me bleed the thing. Anyway, I started to car and let it run since it hasnt ran for a few weeks.

I just stood around lookin thru the engine bay makin sure it didnt leak from the master cylinder *dont trust myself :P* ... I glanced down and noticed a rather large puddle on the ground, I shut the car off asap. Put it in neutral and pushed out the garage so I could inspect this mysterious puddle. It has a redish hue to it when on your finger. Doesnt really smell like anything. I have a hunch its transmission oil, not sure yet, gonnna check the level later today. Any ideas though while I warm up before I head out to investigate this new problem. I dont think it has anything to do with the work i did today with the master cylinder, but cant be for sure yet. Will find out later and I'll post here to let you know what I find out and to tell you if the MC fixed my not being able to shift problem.

If the car is standard then I don't think that the fluid in the tranny should be red, it should be like a brownish unless it's burned then it would have a blackish hue to it. Has anybody else been parked in that same spot that could have leaked the fluid? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Car is manual. And its motor oil. I just checked the dipstick, no oil whatsoever in the car o.O I dont know what the hell is wrong. any ideas would be appreciated.

[2006 ECLIPSE GT]

its prabaly the oil pan gasket. since the car was sitting for a few weeks, it had alot of time for it loose oil...if u normaly used the car, sometimes u dont notice it has a oil leak until u park it for a few days.

Ok, I know this is thread is dead but thought I would update just incase someone else out there has the same problem later on. I fixed the shifting problem. I changed the master cylinder and bled the lines, it worked but was still rough so I changed the transaxle fluid too with syncroshift II ... It shifts better than the day I got it so I'm a very happy man now.

As for the oil leaking thing, I changed the oil and there is no leak what so ever. The oil filter was EXTREMELY hard to get off, im talkin it took me like 2 hours to get it off so I'm wonderin if something F'd up there. Either way, car is back to normal so I can drive it again ... Have to watch oil level still, I think my car burns oil >.<
