In 1996, Suzuki started selling a larger version of the Sidekick called the Sidekick Sport. Besides a larger engine (1.8 I4 followed by a 2.0 I4), they were also equipped with a Hydraulic clutch. The hydraulic clutch fluid vessel is to the left of the brake master cylinder on the firewall. It is a translucent white container about the size of a large pill bottle. You can use brake fluid or clutch fluid to top it off.

The material following this text (after the string of hypens) was NOT published by me and represents the writings of someone who merely "thinks" he knows everything.
Observe the word "suicide" in his/her second sentence. This is a sure sign of someone who has assumed that the Tracker/Sidekick are dangerous vehicles. The irony to this is the fact that it was the Suzuki Samurai (not the next-gen Sidekick/Tracker!) that Consumers Union claimed was an unsafe vehicle despite their own original testing and the observations of numerous vehicle safety agencies to the otherwise.
If you don't "KNOW" something about a topic, it is best to keep one's piehole shut. This would - at least microsopically - add to the overall reliability of the information found on the internet...
------------------------------
As I recall, the sidekick/suicide/tracker uses a cable clutch linkage. Clutch fluid is only used with a hydraulic clutch.
If you have a cable clutch, and if you have low clutch pedal or excessive clutch pedal freeplay (more than 1/2 inch is excessive less than 1/4 inch is insufficient) check for adjustment at clutch fork lever end of clutch cable near righthand side front of transmission.
On these vehicles, a locknut isn't used so it is common for an adjustment nut to back off (loosen) on the cable end. If loose, tighten until freeplay is normal and then consider using a locknut (get a nut from the hardware store for under $1) or use a drop of thread locking compound (under $2.50 at most auto parts stores) to keep the adjusting nut in place.
Also consider the possibility of an excessively worn input shaft bearing or worn clutch fork or worn throwout (release) bearing or pivot.

How do you know if the clutch cylinder on a 97 suzuki sidekick is bad and it is not the clutch?
After you have located the clutch slave cylinder, have someone depress the clutch pedal. You should see the piston of the slave cylinder extend somewhat. If it does not, either the slave cylinder is bad, or the master cylinder, or, there is not enough brake fluid in the system for it to operate properly. Check the level in the master cylinder. If the slave cylinder is leaking profusely, it is probably bad.

What if you push in on the clutch pedal on a 1995 suzuki sidekick and it will not go into gear?
Idk, try turning the car off and then seeing if it will slip into all the gears. Then go check your clutch fluid and see if it's low or all gone. If any air gets into the clutch line (which starts at that clutch fluid reservoir and then goes to your clutch master cylinder Then the clutch wont release from the transmission all the way. It is a quite common problem and quite easy to fix. 1. Fill the clutch reservoir with clutch fluid 2. Pump the clutch a few times 3. Crawl under your car with a small box end wrench and open the bleeder valve (Should be on your clutch master cylinder 4. Let it dribble and go pump up your clutch tell it feels stiff 5. Top up your clutch reservoir with some more fluid. 6. Get a lift kit, and some big knobby tires and wheel that sucker its just that simple, Have fun
