Well luckily i was wrong about my diagnosis. Although i do think the clutcb is slipping slightly, it is actually my slave cylinder. I put it on my lift at work on saturday to notice a little brake fluid leaking out through the peephole in the trans, then i shined a light in there to see it all over. I drove it again and the problem now happened in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear.

Anyway, on my way home i witnessed an accident, called 911...' waited till the ambulances arrived (only injury was a girl (driver of the car that got jacknifed) had a gouge in her head but im pretty sure she was ok, just pinned in the car) But back on topic, i left and had to take a small road since the main road i was on was now blocked off.... Picture a 1 lane road detouring a 4 lane road, a TON of traffic, i went to downshift into 2nd and thought the clutch felt odd, then i went to upshift, my clutch went all the way to the floor and stayed there, so i pulled of and a guy got off his lawnmower to help push my car into his driveway, then we had a conversation about my supercharged sunfire for like 30 minutes.

Long story short i drove it home without a clutch, started it in gear, then waited for that "sweet spot" to shift and only ended up slightly grinding 3rd gear like 2 times on about a 20 mile drive. Tomorrow morning im going to have it towed to my shop and try to get a slave cylinder in before noon, then take the rest of the day off pulling myt rans and installing it. I have no backup car anymore so the towtruck is my ride to work, and my car is my only ride home.

Anywho, i guess tomorrow ill find out if the clutch is really slipping or not, i kind of hope it is so i have an excuse to get the spec clutch and flywheel

I hope its just the slave cylinder. Nice going on the clutchless shifting. I had to do the same thing, I got stranded 300 miles from my home, and HAD to get back. It ended up being my slave cylinder disentregrated because my input shaft had tons of play, tranny was bad, but I drove that thing for 4 hours with no clutch, lol. That was a day.....

how many miles on the car?? I only have 26000 miles on my car and im pretty sure the supercharger voided any warranty... I can do a slave cylinder, but i cant afford the whole trans lol.
