95 geo prism clutch problem...
hi guys, I just joined to ask for your help. My father drives a 95 geo prism, and last week his clutch pedal just went realy soft. What i mean is it if there's no resistance in it all the way until the very end. It will engage with a little luck but the car is almost not drivable. When it is engaged it doesn't slip which leads me to believe that the problem is with the pedal mechanism. So my question is is the clutch hydrolic? Im leanining towards the slave cylinder but i have no idea where it is. Anyone have any info on how the prism clutch works on these cars and what could be the problem? The car is not worth taking to a mechanic, so if i can just fix it for cheap (new slave cylinder???) i'll do it otherwise it's going to the junkward. I own an Audi (AT)and a Vw and can fix anything on those but i haven't touched a Geo.My VW is with a clutch cable which doesn't seem to be the case on the Geo. All help is appreciated. Thanks.

Check its master too [on firewall], is it low on fluid?....as well as the slave cylinder [on clutch]...check for wetness where pedal goes through firewall, and on the clutch as well, and of course the line should be inspected... let me know if you nee more spacific info. How many miles? New or used? ect....

Re: 95 geo prism clutch problem...
Where exaclty on the firewall is it? is it that small tank on the driver's side that is connected to the power steering fluid tank? If that's it than it's all covered in dried up oil as i've had a power steering leak for the last 50k miles. Car's got 190k and it's been the family beater for the last 5 years. How do you fill it up with fluid? Does it use the power steering fluid? If so that's full.

To locate the clutch master cylinder; get under the dash on the drivers side and follow the shaft which is connected to the clutch pedal assembly. The shaft will extend through the firewall and into the master cylinder, actually it's part of the master cylinder. I think it takes Dextron III fluid, but I'll check to be sure. As far as I know the clutch master, and PS pump do not share a common reservoir.
The master should be cylendrical-metal in construction with a topside reservoir, and a fluid line leading to the clutch bell housing slave assembly.
