just for ur info: it was an older saturn, and the last time i raced him, i had only short ram, and an exhaust. we raced, we were head to head, until 3rd, when he pulled on me.
this time i have CAI and 60mm TB, beat him off the line, and never stopped walking... until my car wouldn't get in gear that is...

can you build pressure by pumping the clutch several times?
I had the exact same symptoms, but I my clutch fluid reservoir was empty...so I'm not exactly sure what this is about. I would still try bleeding the system to see if that helps. Run an advanced search for "bleed clutch". If this ends up fixing your problem, I would advise getting a SS clutch line from RRE. You are much less likely to lose pressure in your line with a SS clutch line. __________________ Chris 96 ESI 5 spd Milwaukee, WI

i dont think thats your actual clutch disc but more likely the clutch master cylinder or something related to that.

Sounds like your clutch isnt disengaging at all. Have someone pump the clutch pedal while you look at the slave cylinder on the frontof the trans. You should see the slave cylinder's rod push the engagement fork lever back and forth as the clutch pedal moves up and down. If it barely moves, or not at all, then its a hydrolic problem. If it moves fully, then its a clutch/trans problem.

ok, i just came back from bleeding the clutch in 97 degrees weather, it worked for like 2 seconds with the car ON, but it was really rough. so im assuming its my cylinder now, but how do i determain which one it is?
