i paid $3500 for everything ( car itself tax ect. and towing it to my house) towing alone cost me $112 but I dont think that was too bad

the clutch cylinder probably has a leak in it and is completely empty now. Probably will have to put a new line or slave cylinder in it. Possibly might just be empty if your lucky.

Negative...it is more than likely a bad master cylinder (clutch master obviously) or the line going from the master down to the tranny. Now if it still had pressure, but wouldn't disengage, that would liely be the slave.
GOOD NEWS: If it's the master cylinder, you or a shop wil not have to drop the tranny to fix it. It is not incredibly expensive for the part either.
Congrats on the purchase!

If it's the "rod" as your dad thinks, it is part of the afore-mentioned master cylinder, and will come with the new one [img]smile.gif[/img]
You just replace the cylinder. The rod goes through the firewall to connect to the clutch pedal, and the cylinder is compressed when you push the pedal by the rod...the creates the pressure in the system, and is sent through the line down to the slave cylinder. Then the slave actually does the work and disengages the clutch.
Remember the master/slave relationship when thinking about this. The master uts the pressure on 1st, and the slave does the work...horrible I know, but that's how they were named so many years ago.

Ya were talking about the same thing more or less. I just don't call it master and slave I hate those names. The reason I would say more line then the clutch cylinder is because it most likely is something that occured when the guy wrecked and I don't see the clutch cylinder getting hit during that wreck.

Can you see the clutch line getting dmaged in a wreck more than the master cylinder?
If you don't go by those names, you might as well call your tires steering wheels, and your brakes you can call fenders...they are known world-wide by certain names for a reason. Go to a parts store to get these parts without knowing what the names are, and they'll just stare at you funny.

oh my god guys, master and slave cylinders, thats their names, live with it. They're car parts, not people. What kind of world do we live in where the words "master" and "slave" can no longer be used even for inanimate objects without people being offended? Get Over It.
