Clutch not being engaged Options

[Malhar95]

(My buddy's car) the car is acting like the clutch isn't engaged. We press it but nothing happens. Never had a manual car of my own so no idea

I think it's the master cylinder because of a old thread I read err where jim(or manny I think) was talking about

If the slave comes out when clutch pedal depressed and goes back in slowly it's the slave; if it doesn't move it's the master clutch cylinder.


But then I don't think so cuz the pedal wasn't getting stuck before ever. It was workin fine before. Suddenly we were havin problem putting it in third, then we pulled over and shut it off, then realized the car wouldn't detect the clutch pedal being pressedbasically.

I put it in gear, depressed the pedal and try to push it and the car doesn't move like its in gear(it's suppose to so that but not with the clutch pressed u know)

the pedal itself feels wierd like it would press in really easily without resistance and also when we let go its gonna push back out fast

Is there any fluid I need to check?

Replaced the slave at first wasn't working and then I realize my dumb self didn't bleed it,
After few attempts of pump and release the slave started working with a lot of air in there. Haha

Anyways it works now

Thanks guys for all the help


(I wonder if all that was just air and the original slave)
