Clutch problems on my integra

[bubbadu]

So I was moving my car out of the driveway yesterday and the clutch felt really wierd. It was very "soft" and easy to push in. I drove around yesterday and it was still soft but the car still shifted ok. Well this morning my mom went to move my car and said she had a really hard time just geting it into gear Any ideas on fixing this? I know on my POS mercedes the brake fluid was super low so I added some and it fixed the problem. I have checked my brake fluid now and its real dark, not sure if its supposed to be. Any help would be great. BTW its a 95 integra LS. THANKS.

Try bleending the clutch. A soft pedel is normally an indicator of air caugh in the line, should take care of the old fluid at the same time too.

Hard to say. Might be the hydraulic fluid... might be a worn pressure plate.

Nevermind guys I figured it out. I didnt know that the side resivoir was for clutch fuild and the thing was empty Walked up to my local mobil and bought some, then pumped the clutch a couple times and it seems to be fine. Thanks for the help anyway though.

You need to properly bleed the clutch. You cant just pump it and expect all the air to come out, it doesnt work that way.
Also figure out why the fluid was low, maybe a leaking master/slave clutch cylinder.

BTW... that fluid went somewhere.....look under the dash where the clutch pedal mounts to the firewall....it's probably wet there.....if not check the slave cylnder at the trans clutch fork....
