i must have a leak somewhere, because I already bled the clutch twice trying to fix the problem. It doesnt seem like i'm loosing fluid ethier.

So I dug around a little and I found my leak-- its coming from what the haynes manual calls the release cylinder. Its the little cylinder on the front of the tranny-- theres a rod from the tranny that goes into it and the bleeder is kind of attached to it. I went to autozone but they don't carry the part-- any one know of a good place to get one? Napa was closed but maybe they do, or should I just try to find a used one? And how much $$$ will it cost me for a new one?

that`s the slave cylinder, should have been the first place to check for leaks.

I'm a moron. Thanks guys.

You want the slave cylinder only, releasing bearing goes INSIDE of the bellhousing
