Hi,
I recently purchased a 1980 Datsun 720 Pickup with the knowledge that the clutch doesn't engage AT ALL. I was planing on towing home and bringing it to a shop to get it fixed but the towing fees are just ridiculous. I'm starting to think its just the master cylinder needing fluid and it should engage. The way he described it was that it would start to not fully engage, then it wore slowly until it didn't engage anymore. This sounds to me like it leaked fluid somehow. I'm thinking I might be able to just fill the clutch cylinder with fluid and it will get me home. It will probably leak and lose fluid again but then I can at least get it home without towing and it'll also help me find the leak so I can fix it.
so my question is, does this sound logical? Also what else COULD cause a clutch to slowly go out until it doesn't engage at all?
