clutch is done
your clutch run's of off your brake fluid the place where you put your brake fluid in to fill it up there is a hose the run's from it. it goes to your clutch master cylinder
As on many vehicles,the clutch fluid reservoir is shared with the brake fluid reservoir.Pretty easy to find.Whatever you do,don't get confused between gearbox oil(which goes in the gearbox..DUHH!)and brake/clutch fluid.
V.W. recomends you use d.o.t. 3 brake fluid
Clutch master cylinder, usually located near the brake master cylinder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I chose the ( 1996 and 2003 ) Ford Escort owners manuals to look at and they show that the brake master cylinder is also used for the hydraulic clutch
it means you have no clutch fluid(brake fluid) or that you possibly have a leak in the line somewhere or that it needs to be bled.might possibly be the master or slave cylinder.first check the clutch fluid resivor.if its empty then you need to top it off and bleed the line @ the master cylinder then at the slave cylinder.then find out why you have no fluid...the clutch fluid resivor is the smaller one of the two,check inside the car for a leak too,follow the clutch pedal to the firewall and you will see the small rod that goes into your clutch master cylinder,if you have a leak there the master cylinder is bad
DOT 3 brake fluid.
DOT 3 Brake fluid.
if im not wrong this is for the cruise control,which tells the computer to turn cc off when the clutch it's pressed. just like when you press the brake and the cruise c. goes off.
Dot 3 or Dot 4
When fluid leaks out the back side where the plunger goes in, it is going out. Fluid would be seen from inside the cab, up above the clutch pedal.
They don't have clutch cables. It is a hydraulic clutch with a master cylinder and a slave cylinder. If the clutch won't work fill the brake master cylinder with fluid. The clutch uses the same fluid as the brake and they share the same resrvoir of fluid. Follow the line from the clutch master cylinder across the transmission to the slave cylinder of the clutch. The slave cylinder is on the front middle of the transmission/engine. Take the cover off the bleeder valve and place a clear plastic hose over the nipple into a container of brake fluid. Have someone pump the clutch several times and then hold it to the floor. This is the time for you to open the bleeder valve. Air will escape into the container of fluid. Once the bubbles have stopped close the bleeder valve and have your assistant pump the clutch again. Keep doing this procedure until there are no more bubbles. Fill the master cylinder with brake fluid while you are doing this. If it goes down to far it will get air into your brakes and your clutch.
