Unhappy Clutch Question

So i got a hydro clutch and my fluid keeps draining ALOT...It drains it completly empty and have only about 1 inch of pressure on my pedal...do i just need a new clutch or does it have something to do with my slave cylinder?

You might have a Bad seal in your Clutch Master Cylinder or somewhere else. It's about time to get a new one and fixed.

If it's draining A LOT, clean the motor at the spray wash; look for where the fluid is present; from one end of the hose to the other. It will show up somewhere if it's really draining. Wrap a rag around the hose the full length, if the fluid is hard to see. The clutch will not suck up/affect fluid level/leakage.-Bob

Or you can use parts cleaner to clean the motor if you dont want to spray it.

look inside you car, where the pedal goes thru the firewall, pull back carpet - is it wet or do you see any fluid? - if so you master cylinder is bad-
I would change it - the slave and clutch at one time!

+1 for checking behind the carpet

my slave cylinder on my d16z6 coupe is leaking, it is at the front of the engine right in front of the tranny, if that makes any sense.

its 2 or 3 bolts and a 10 mm flared wrench to replace the part and damn i haven't done it yet.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
