Hopefully its only the slave cylinder (front side of the transmission)
leaking. If there's fluid on the outside, just put a new on in and blead the
system.

Clutch problems?
Hi...
I own a 96 Eclipse RS... recently the clutch pedal has been a lot looser
(less resistance while I press it). In the last few days, my gears have
been nearly impossible to get into when I first get into my car. Reverse
takes me 2 or 3 minutes before I can get into gear, then another minute or
so to get into 1st. As I drive though it seems fine after a few miles.
Problem is that all my car trips are under a few miles. Anyway, I want to
know if this is a clutch problem or a transmission problem. I have not
smelled anything odd, and have been getting excellent gas mileage lately.
Please let me know ASAP because I have a few days off and want to get this
taken care of before rush hour traffic this week!

Re: Clutch problems?
Tom, grab a flashlight, and take a look under your dash. Follow the clutch
pedal until you've found the clutch cylinder. Where the rod enters the
cylinder, is there oil weeping out of the seal?

Re: Clutch problems?
Clutch master cylinder or bad pressure plate. I'd say bad cylinder first.
There is a rebuild kit.

Re: Clutch problems?
Ok, so this morning I got a ride to Pep Boys and picked up some clutch fluid
since mine was totally empty. I filled it to the full line and it started
getting better immediately. However, still not 100%. Nowhere near,
actually. I checked under the dash and all around and saw no evidence of a
leak... what do you say?

Re: Clutch problems?
It may still be leaking from the master or slave cylinder. The clutch master
is beside the brake cylinder and the slave is at the transmission.

Re: Clutch problems?
You may need to bleed the system. There's probably air in the slave
cylinder.
