clutch master cylinder.

grab a flash light and crawl undure the steering wheel look up under that dash neer the firewall and see if there is any fluid coming down from the pedal mounting area.

also check to see if the clutch resivore is up to par. if its low and sucking in air it wont release the clutch all the way.

when was the last time you had the transmission fluid checked? or changed??? that should be changed about every other engine oil change or so.

does the car make any"funny" sounds as your stepping on the clutch?

&lt; src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" =text/&gt; </>as far as i know theres been nothing done to the car since it was bought brand new. it had one owner and i got it really cheap but the car wasnt maintianed that well. The previous owner told me he just added oil to the engine everytime it got low (about every 3 fillups) becasue it burns alot of oil and the clutch used to slip alot until now, it wont work at all when the car is on. The car only makes a wierd sound when i try to put it in gear. sometimes it wont go in but sometimes it will.Im definately going to have it checked out by my uncle whose a mechanic. thanks for the help. &lt; =text/&gt; _uacct = "UA-939292-41"; urchinTracker(); </>&lt; src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" =text/&gt; </>&lt; =text/&gt; _uacct = "UA-939292-41"; urchinTracker(); </>
