Cluch troubles
My clutch is giving me trouble. I have a 92 mitsu 1.8 GS. First thing in the mourning, my clutch pedal has zero tension. Like its not engaging. I have to pump my clutch to get tension. Its really hard to get it into 1st gear. It will start grinding unless I press the clutch super hard and shift it just right. Any ideas ?
I also want to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Mac and I live in philly. This car has been really good for me. I've owned it for 1 1/2 years with no problems. I love the car and hopefully can get it running good again. Thanks for reading and for answering any questions.

Not sure.
look up how to adjust your clutch on vfaq.com first, adjust it within reason and see if that fixes it.
you might try bleeding it out also if its never been done, old fluid will sometimes collect moisture over time.
if your under the dash to adjust it and you see fluid coming out of the master on the back side and running down the firewall its time to replace it.

sounds like you have massive air pockets in your clutch lines, this may be caused by your clutch master cylinder.
either that, or your not getting enough clutch travel. also check for leaks in the slave cylinder.
let us know so we can help

I think I should bleed the system and add new oil. For the first time I open my Master cylinder cap and its almost empty! My coworker told me to put any type of stop leak in there to avoid replacing./rebuilding the master cylinder. Good idea?

No, not a good idea. It's not like the cooling system where there's constant pressure. I would sooner get an old, rusty master/slave from the junkyard than put any type of stop leak in there.

absolutely, as silvercoupe said, if you budget doesn't allow it. Just go to an old junkyard, and scoop one up their for dirt cheap. If your pockets are big enough, you can maybe stuff it one them, and go by unoticed!
lol just kidding.
Replace the master cylinder, which should be a 20 minute opperation, bleed the lines thoroughly, and the problem should be fixed. If it continues which i doubt highly, let us know and we'll give you more options
