Alright let me just say ive searched around about the slave cylinder issues and such.

I still have all my clutch fluid (brake fluid) in the tanks. so i dont think its leaking? but the clutch pedal is very weak and i have half the travel i used to have. IE the clutch wants to engage right off the floor and its hard to get into 1st gear from a stop and reverse grinds because it isnt synchronized. meaning the clutch isnt fully disengaging and the main shaft cannot spin down.

now my question is if the slave cylinder is indeed bad would it leak fluid? or just be weak and the seal rings inside it cant hold pressure which would lead to the weak pedal feel?
 












ok. then mines most deff. going bad. just hope it lasts 2 weeks till i can limp it to diffwhack's house to swap in a new clutch and slave.
