Hello everyone I have an issue, and I'm pretty scared!

The clutch in my z has no pressure I just press the clutch to turn on my car and it won't release back it just stays, I have to actually pull it back with my foot!

Ideas please help me! Ask questions if I have them!

Empty Fluid reservoir. Brake fluid until u get to shop

If you have fluid in your reservoirs then it's probably your slave clutch cylinder, or you've got air in the line and have airlocked the system. If the latter is the case, you'll have to bleed the system like a brake line.

Suggested to do this before towing:

Taken from the DYI Stainless Steel Clutch Line

Quote:

"Now start to bleed the clutch. Fill the clutch resesvoir with the Motul brake fluid. It's the small cap to the right in the first pic below. Fill up to top. Put cap on. Start pumping clutch alot. You will have to use your hand at first. For once depressed it wont come back up. You also in the begining have to open the bleeder screw to get the fluid to flow down at first. This is where the 8mm wrench comes in. Seal off bleeder screw, pump clutch with hands more. It will take a bit. Keep going back to reservoir to always make sure it doesnt get to low and feel up with air and that your always reinstalling the cap. I feel this is easier than doing the brakes. A lot less fluid and lines. Just keep bleeding till all the old fluid is out and your sure the new fluid is coming threw. Now eventually you will feel the pressure build for it will be alot stiffer than stock. Even though the pressure will build and the clutch will rebound on it's own when you open the bleeder screw the clutch will stick to the floor and you will have to seal off the screw and pull the clutch back up last time. Ensuring the bleeder screw is sealed off pump the clutch some more and pressure will build. Top off the fluid one more last time. Sorry for no pics on this. But I do hope this helps alot."

Good luck!
