I had my clutch replaced about a year ago after i smoked it, and it worked fine until about 6 months ago, when I noticed it was hard to shift into gear. I checked the master cylinder and topped it off since it was low. Since then I have had to top it off at least 1-2 times every couple of weeks when I noticed it was getting hard to put into gear. Now I can't shift it into gear at all and the master cylinder is still full. I am trying to avoid the rip-off factor from going to a repair shop, or worse yet, the dealer. I've been told over the phone that if the slave cylinder is leaking, the transmission has to be taken apart to replace, which can cost up to $600. Since I don't know a whole lot about working on clutches, trannies, etc..., could someone please tell me what I could look for before I take it to a repair shop? Could it be there is air in the system from adding fluid to it all the time, or would the air come up to the master cylinder and it show up as a low level? If this is the case, how much of a pain is it to bleed the system? Also, is there a way to check any part of the clutch hydraulic system to see where the problem may be? Anybody's help on this is greatly (read $$$!) appreciated. BTW, it's a '94 sport 2WD with 104k. Thanks!
