Thursday, August 28, 2008 8:34 PM
hey guys i just installed a newer gearbox that the dif wasnt bad and i installed a new oem clutch kit .. got the car back together and bleeded the clutch but i find its loseing pressure, like when i put the clutch peddle to the floor ,,,, well it stays down and wont come back up unless i push it back up with my foot. then it will build up pressure and its fine and then i will leave it alone for a few minutes and i push the clutch peddle back in and goes right to the floor again .

does anyone know what this problem is? please help.

my car is a 96 sunfire 2.2 5-spd

Pump up and make sure master is full, your getting all the air out of the slave.

I started having the same problem 2 days ago. I've bled the clutch numerous times getting clutch back to normal pressure then it sucking itself back down to the floor. This morning I woke up and there was a huge puddle of fluid under my trans. I checked the clutch master and it was empty. I jacked my car up and looked in the gap of the trans where the flywheel is and its hard to see but it looks like my pressure release bearing is ripped which would be where I'm losing my pressure and fluid. I'm going to drop trans in morning and swap it with a spare one I have. Hopefully that fixes my problem. Any more advice or ideas?
