bleed the clutch, and check for leaks, too easy. also check the master cylinder reservoir as the clutch shares that with the brakes.

Agreed, make sure your brake fluid is full. Then bleed the clutch.

Clutch master is down and to the outside of the brake master. There isn't a resivior for it, follow the line coming off of the brake resivior, it goes to the clutch cyl.

Clutch is usually vacuum bled. There is a bleeder fitting on the dist block on top of the transmission, you can bleed it as normal.

personally i always gravity feed it myself, the clutch master cylinder lets fluid through when the pedal is fully released.

Thats why I like the vacuum bleeder. Pump it up, let it sit, release, pump the pedal. Repeat 3-4 times, perfect clutch, no fluid on the transmission or anything.

replace or just try to bleed the clutch my pettle is real soft. The car stays in gear. But can't change gears. I can push the clutch with just one finger. I can't find it. Having a hard time.

You've got a leak at the trans.

You sure there's no fluid coming out the bottom of the joint between the trans and engine?

I saw a leak when my car was working it would work normal but every so ofton it would be soft but then I would push it down and it would work. I did see some brake fluid once but that was it only once. It did progressivly get worse.
