    Would not go into gear

    Today I wen to take the car out and as I started it and attempted to put it in reverse, it would not go into gear. I attempted to put it in first and other gears and same issue. Toddy from bad boyz garage was great help as he immediately instructed me to check my resevwoir and sure enough there was no fluid in there. I picked up some Lucas dot 3 filled and pumped it. After several attempts the clutch pedal felt normal again and the car would now go into gear. I’m not sure what the issue is as there are no leaks under the car. Any suggestions as to what my next steps could be from here? Keep an eye on the fluid? Bad slave master? Any advice would help. Thanks!

    Well, fluid doesn't just disappear into thin air, so you have a leak somewhere. If you aren't getting any drips on the floor, I'd suspect that the leak is somewhere near the master cylinder, and the fluid could be collecting somewhere under the brake booster. You are just going to have to start looking around, and maybe pulling some things apart until you can tell where it is going. If it is the slave cylinder going south, you'd likely see fluid leaking from the bottom of the bell housing - there should be an inspection cover for the clutch/slave on the bottom of the bell housing that you can remove so you can have a look around.

    Any mods to the car? Remote slave cylinder bleeder installed by any chance?
