Well saturday my car was driving great and everything....and sunday it sat all day because i didnt hav etime to go out....well this morning i went out there and to be suprised i didnt have ANY fucking pressure in my clutch...so i drove it to school....pumping at every light whic blew...this thing wouldnt even go into gear after about pumping it 60 times and when it did actually go into gear...it sure and the hell didnt want to come out...one thing i replaced in the past was a clutch master cylinder....well i am not sure what it is i dropped it off at a great car place...and they are going to tell me whats wrong with it tomorrow...and i trust them since we have always done business with them...

well i have another fireo in which drives and everything and my mom usues it....well i was thinking i can borrow it for a day or two....come to find out...i get an e-mail saying my car is parked at a gas station and needs a fuel pump...what luck

so now i am siting here typing this all to you...i have no ride to and from school...meaning im screwed...enjoy all...what i go through daily....interesting huh

You're bummed about missing school? Wow, things have changed since I was 17. LMAO (FYI - Five bucks says your slave cylinder died)

Re: bad stuff or what

i am having a problem of leaking clutch fluid but am not getting air into the system, i just had the master a slave change like 6,000 miles ago and it seems like the master is leaking into to cab, i would take it back to the guy that put it in but i live close to jax fl. and i had it fixed in naples fl at my grandmothers where i found the car

Re: bad stuff or what

well see my master cylinder was leaking clutch fluid too....in which i had it replaced and then the pressure in the peddel felt like a dream....just like ragtop said above it is most likely the slave because i know it isnt the clutch...but im talking about seriously no pressue....i mean i have never seen my foot go to the floor that fast....

then i got into my dad's 87 gt mustang and drove it around for a while and man...i love that clutch and peddle in there...felt great...i love the power that thing has too...just a little gas will puit a smile on your face lol =)

Re: bad stuff or what

most of the time when either the master or slave cylinder goes out, the other isn't far behind. You probably could have put some more fluid in it to get you to and from school, but it would keep leaking. I've never had problems with the lines themselves going bad, I'd think that as long as the car hasn't been wrecked or ran up on a curb or something, the chances of the lines going bad would be very slim.

Re: bad stuff or what

When I first got my Fiero the clutch line had a huge hole in it from rust and I had to fix it before the clutch would work. However, in Alabama I doubt you see much rust. Here they salt the roads so hard in the winter any car without undercoating will be rusted to hell in 5 years or less. My Fiero first lived in Illinois, so my frame is actually in pretty good shape.

You got Thursday and Friday off because of Vetran's Day. You know to thank the old guys who went off to war for WWI, WWII, Korea, VietNam, Desert Storm etc. You must have missed a few history classes during the last 10-12 years of school.
