Okay so I have a chilton's manual...and my clutch has had practically no pressure for the past 2 days... the pedal gets stuck half way, I just wanted to know where the clutch fluid for the reservoir was because the manual doesn't do a good job at all describing it.


If i don't need to take the car to a shop, I don't want to have to...but at this point I don't know if the clutch is blown or its just the fluid/pressure
 
open the hood
look on the drivers side near the firewall
you will see two "cups"
one will be closer to the fender (this is the one for the clutch)
the other one is for the brakes

how full should it be?

any other things that could be simple causes of my clutch having like zero pressure...besides having to pull the tranny?

obviously I'm a car tard, I just drive them...don't work on them
 
Any info would be appreciated

...just went out there and tried to start the thing, in neutral it starts, in first/reverse it doesnt'

if you have a cable clutch you wont have a resovir. What year make model of you car? Not information

I have a hydrolic clutch...this is on a Del Sol, all del sols have hydrolic clutches to my knowledge. in 1992 they stopped making cable clutches...n the Del Sol went into production in '94
 
actually the del sol went into production in 92 (sold as a 93 model) <---i have a 93

the 93 integra still has a cable clutch

the cup should be filled to the top line

causes would be:
not enough fluid (add some and bleed the line)
air in the lines (bleed the line)
bad master cyl (replace it)
bad slave cyl (replace it)

look for excessive fluid around either of the cyl this is usually a good indication of if its bad or not
sometimes there wont be any fluid and it will still be bad though

how do you 'bleed' these lines?

a tutorial of any sort or easy job to be done?
 
have someone pump the pedal
hold it down
open the bleed valve
close the bleed valve
pump the pedal
hold it down
open the bleed valve
close the bleed valve

repeat this untill you get nothing but fluid coming from the line (no air at all)
