So i recently bought an S13

[UneaK]

Its a 1991 240sx

So my dad hasn't drove a stick for like 13 years and he was not to good at it so we drove in like 3rd and 4th all the way to my house, which is like 30 minutes and so once we were almost home the car just died, but the engine was running and it just wouldn't go into gear and when we got out of the car there was this burnt smell of something. Then we had to get it pulled home and so when we got home the engine wouldn't start anymore and all the lights were on like the side markers and the head lights, but were on like really low power. So this morning i tried to put the keys in the ignition and it wouldn't even turn. Any help at all would be awesome and great because i really don't want to go waste it at the junkyard!

So please help me save this car!! Any questions just IM me on aol at wmuneak

thanks!

alright, so me and my friend today did some work.

we got it started, but the clutch has a lot of play and is not very hard to press down. Also you can shift into gears with out having the clutch down. But to be able to start it the car needs to be jumped started. When we left it running it wanted to die.

we either think its the clutch, transmission, or drive train.

any ideas?

try pushing on the slave cylinder boot a little. sometimes they'll be leaking and the fluid gets inside the boot. if so, replace it and do this http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=251959

that slave cylinder should move the clutch fork almost and inch. I had the same problem with my s13, except not as severe
