Default Issues with Cluch

When I press the cluch all the way down and put the car into gear sometimes it moves slightly. And if it on even ground an I press on the Gas it inches forwads slowly just wanted to know If there was an easy fix, or somethink I can check before I take it to the shop to have it looked at.

Unfortunately its most likely not a simple fix, you're probably looking at a bad master or slave cylinder. Or maybe even the clutch, worst case. Check out the links in my sig. I can get your car back on the road in just a day or two. It runs $250 parts and labor to install a new master cylinder and flush all the fluid out with synthetic. That's the cheapest and most simple starting point that very well may fix you problem. If it doesn't do the trick, then the tranny will have to come out to replace the slave cylinder. Might as well do the clutch too while you're there.

Listen to this guy! He's one of the most honest people I have ever dealt with! My car was doing the exact same thing yours is and I kept driving it. When Jason opened it up the whole thing was worthless. He gave me $150 for it and I went and bought a new tranny and had him go through that one just to be sure.

Actually I belive he rebuilt the tranny 3 yrs ago then about 1000 miles in motor went then the car sat for a while. Almost 3 yrs. I know he had replaced the slave the master and the throwout bearing. and replaced the shift forks on it as well. it has been up and running now for 5 months and most of the time sits at home and I dont drive it long distances

If he built the tranny just take the car back to him and have him check it out first hand instead of having to describe it and he might work a deal with you if he had worked on it previously(don't know for sure but its a thought)

I know with a lot of cars that I worked on in the past, I never did the master. This is due to the fact that it can be replaced without having to pull the tranny or anything. It could be the only part that wasn't replaced. Your tranny, clutch & slave are all fine I'm sure. Anyway, I'd be glad to help you out, just give me a call.
