Best Answer

Most likely the clutch master cylinder and/or slave cylinder has went out. It's a good rule of thumb to replace both at the same time to save frustration later on. A hydraulic clutch system works on the same principle as your brake system. Its very important that after replacing the slave and master cylinder that you properly bleed all air from the hydraulic lines to ensure proper clutch pressure.

What is the purpose of the overrunning clutch in a starter?

With the flywheel spinning at about 1,000 RPM at idle, the starter, if engaged with the flywheel, would be forced to spin between 15,000 and 20,000 RPM. Once the engine has turned over and is running, the overrun clutch will release the starter from the flywheel and prevent the gears from re-meshing (as in an accidental turning of the ignition key) while the engine is running


What is wrong when the gears start slipping when you push down to far on the gas pedal?

Depends on the type of transmission you have. If it's an automatic, check the transmission fluid with the vehicle running to make sure it isn't low. If it's not and the transmission slips you've probably got an internal problem inside the transmission. If it's a manual transmission it could be the hydraulic fluid is low if you have a hydraulic clutch, or it could be the clutch itself. If you've got an older clutch that's not hydraulic, it could be out of adjustment, or the clutch itself is bad.

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.

I'm driving a stick shift Dodge Neon When I stop the car the engine is still running very strong When starting to drive the car starts jumping and cant always accelerate?

This sounds like a slipping clutch. With the car in gear, fully depress the clutch pedal and give the car a little gas. If it tries to pull forward, then the clutch is not engaging properly. If this is the case, look into clutch and pressure plate repairs.

You push in the clutch of your 1993 Capri put the car in gear but before you let the clutch out it drives forward Why?

My 91 did the same thing and continued to get worst to point where you can't even get it in gear now with the engine running. If you try to start it in gear the car starts to move. Two things, clutch needs adjusting or as in my case the clutch slave cylinder is worn out. Is the clutch pedal real mushy? That wouuld indicate the slave cylinder is bad. It is located on the driver side firewall and looks like a small brake cylinder.
