once again my s13 is failing me. i went to go to work this morning, and after i started my car, i couldnt get it into gear, i tried first, reverse, and all the way through, it wouldnt go into any gears. i finally managed to slip it in reverse, and noticed i had no clutch pressure, and it felt like the clutch ws engaged, because as soon as i let off of the brakes the car was going backwards. so i put it in first, let the brake off, and the car was moving farward, all while the clutch is to the floor. so i put it in neutral (sp?) and pumped my clutch pedal, and i got full pressure back after a while, and it drove to work fine. so wheni left work, i have to back out of the parking space. once again it would not go into reverse. so i did the whole pump the pedal thing again and it drove fine. im sorry i wrote a book about this but i tried to explain it as thorough as possible. if anybody has any ideas waht i t could be, please feel free to voice your opinion, i would greatly appreciate it. because if i cannnot fix my problem, i will have to get a new car b/c i drive 40 mins to tech school every day. anyhow, any advice or ideas is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

It sounds like either air, or you have a small leak somewhere, look for drops on the ground and check to see how much fluid you have.

Sounds like air in the line to me. It's only your clutch so it shouldn't be to hard to find the problem.Also do you have the clutch block still installed on your car?

wasn't sure if you were still having this problem. But i am now in the process of replacing my throw out bearing. I thought at first it was the slave cylinder, but after bleeding the clutch line, and some try and errors. More problems occured, and i had to take out my transmission to find out the t.o.bearing and fork were useless. email me at [email protected] if you have questions
