My best guess would be a leaking slave cylinder. You may have to pull the transmission to access it.

Why wont your 85 fiero change gears when its started?

Could be a bunch of stuff, but some of the earlier Fieros had an issue with the shaft connected to clutch pedal bending which would cause the clutch to not fully disengage. When your car's not running you can shift gears all day without pushing in the clutch. Try that when your fiero's running and all you'll do is chew gears.

1997 Hyundai Excel has no gears and is leaking clutch fluid to the ground?

Not 100% sure on an excel, but where is it leaking? If your car has no clutch fluid then you will not be able to change gears, I would check the seals on the master/slave cylinder, as that is one of the more common places clutches leak.

No. Clutch is what disengages the motor from the transmission. Shift would be changing gears. You should depress the clutch to shift from one gear to another.

Will a faulty slave cylinder cause a clutch to slip?

A faulty slave cylinder will not cause your clutch to slip. The slave cylinder is made up of a housing and a rod. The rod pushes the throwout lever against the throwout bearing, that push the teeth on the clutch housing causing the clutch to disengage and you are allowed to shift the gears. When a slave cylinder fails it makes it difficult for you to shift gears. When it completely fails you will not be able to change gears at all for the most part. I sincerely hope this helps you. www.subarushirt.com The only exception would be if the slave cylinder managed to leak fluid onto the clutch disc.


What would cause a chattering noise to come from your clutch or transmission every time you start your truck after it has been sitting for a while and it also grinds gears occasionally when cold?

Cracks in the clutch disk will cause the noise and a wore syncronizer in will not allow gear to mesh, more so in cold weather.


Why would your car rattle when the clutch is not engaged?

There may be some worn gears/bearings in the transmission, but more likely it's the aligning bushing in the clutch disk.
