I need clutch help please

[gaffler21]

I just recently replaced the clutch on my 95 firebird. This is the first clutch I have ever worked on or replaced. I got it in(with the help of a friend), and it seemed to work for a day or two. Then it started getting stuck into gear when ever I shifted, and would not come unstuck unless I turn off the car. I noticed right before it would get stuck the car would try to die out when I would come to a stop, then get stuck into 1st gear. I checked the clutch oil resevoir, and noticed it was empty, so I put more fliud and it would be ok. But then I would drive down the road for about 3 or 4 miles, and the problem would start all over again, and the clutch resevoir would be empty again. I figured there had to be a leak somewhere, but I checked the engine and hoses and found no leak. I have no idea what is wrong and any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks


P.S. My car engine specs: 95 Firebird, 3.4 liter, v-6

It sounds like either your slave cylinder is leaking or you have a bad connection. I'm guessing your slave cylinder is inside the bell housing, meaning you have to take the transmission out. Make sure the clutch is full of fluid and have a friend pump the clutch and watch under the car and see if you can find the leak.
