Ok so I was trying to fixing my squeeky clutch...so DIY here so now I put everything back together and my clutch is just sitting on the floor. No pressure to it at all.... what's the deal?

Yeah.. my friend is coming over around 6 to fix it. He is a genious on engines. I like working on my car and stuff but I get so ****ing frustrated some times. hey zen master, hold off doing it to yours until I figure out what's going on with mine. I'm not saying you would mess up too, but at least after my friend fixes it I can tell you what not to do.

Hey it's fixed now. Somehow the boot covering the balljoint came loose and air got into the system. I had to go buy some brake fluid and a one-man bleeder to fix it. Once I got the air out, it worked like a dream. It feels better than the day I drove it off the lot. When I down shift now, its like butter, you hardly feel it engage its so smooth. Just be careful that the boot doesn't come off that slave cylinder.

so that was the problem. the boot actually came off? i though you had to remove something to actually apply the grease?

... see that black boot that looks like an acordian? (<---spelling?) That came off and I think the balljoint came out. Somehow got air in there, dont ask me how but it did, trust me. Oh well, I guess working on cars, **** will happen. My clutch feels incredible now though!

Yeah so the opposite end of that slave cylinder. Has the nipple on the end with a black cap on it? I loosened that nut on it and put the bleeder on their and pump the clutch to get all the air out. Make sure you keep enough brake fluid in the resevoir up top. Once all the air was out I tightened the nut back up and that was it. That's the first time I have ever had to do that, and I guess it was a good experience because I know how to bleed those lines now to get ride of air. Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions...

So is your clutch tighter now by chance?

yeah it is especially when you get to the "meaty" part of the clutch. It feels really really good. My friend drove it and flipped out when he felt it.
