like i said im pretty dumb wen it comes to clutchs and transmissions so how do i check and were?

Its the little tank beside the the brake fluid tank. Just check to see if there is fluid in it. Its pretty simple just look at the tank and there should be a line up at the top and thats the full line, just check to see if where it is at. If you dont have any in there then thats your problem if not that. If you do then there can be a air bubble in the line. Bleed it then refill it. This is the first things I would check since its the most simple things and the cheapest.

Next would be is the tranni slipping at all. Is the rpms going down. If this is so then the clutch could be about to go out.

i checked the fluid and it was not full barley any and very black. wehat kind of fluid do i need, how much were do i fill up and how do i bleed it or do i even need to.

If it barely has any in it then that is your problem right there. I had that happen in my old ej cause the clutch master cylinder was bad itself and the fluid just ran dry quick and the clutch would just drop to the floor. But anyway if it is like black then I would say bleed it. The bleeder valve is located at the bottom of the firewall near the tranni. there will be a little nipple looking thing and that is it. An easy way to find it is to follow the tank and down by the firewall and you should eventually find it. But you use brake fluid for the clutch master cylinder just like for your brakes. I always use the honda fluid.

Ya you just fill it up till it hits the full line. It shouldnt take much.

i followed the hard line and found the bleed off valve but i also noticed that there was a small leak from the part the the bleed off valve is located on do you think that would be that problam and if so what is that part

Ya if there is a leak then that will needed to be fixed or you will fill it up just to lose it all quick. And i am not to sure what part of it your talking about. Is it leaking in the slave cylinder. Here is a link to the clutch master cylinder at majestic. What exact part is it leaking from. Number 7 is the slave cylinder which is where the bleeder is.

Its a pretty easy job. Just bleed it then its just the simple lefty loosy, righty tighty ordeal.
