Remember that '89 Lude i bought? well something fucked up yesterday (2/12). I was on my way home and i was going like 65mph then it started to slow down....didnt know what it was but rpm were droppin so i put in the clutch and tapped the gas right quick to see if the rpms would jump and they just kept droppin, when i took my foot off the clutch it only rose about an inch above the floorboard. I pulled over and checked everything. Oil: ok, Radiator: ok, Battery: ok. Then i got back in and started it but then the bastard wouldnt shift into any gear just stuck in neutral. Any clue to what could be wrong?

is that year cable or hydro tranny, if hydro u might need a slave cyclinder

Buddy Ro

Well it is a hydro, the guy i bought it from said he just got a new slave cylinder not to long ago....then again i was leaking oil from somewhere it might have been leaking from the slave cylinder or the tranny itself

Buddy Ro

how much would a new slave cylinder cost and do they go out often?

tranceminister

Hows the clutch in it?

Buddy Ro

the clutches condition? well put it this way its the stock clutch, it has been in there for over 161,XXX miles and has been driven by 3 different people before me. 2 of which were young kids 16-18

they arent expensive see if its leaking from there, cuase a bad slave will make it very very hard for it to go into gear, or try to bleed the lines

Buddy Ro

Well the car needed to go intot he shop to get the speedo fixed and i guess the guy at my shop thinks its the slave cylinder. He will look it over and everything( tranny engine ) , try to locate the before mentioned leak fix the speedo and then after all that ill get it back but he wont look at it until Tuesday the 17th.

good luck man, hope ya dont have to shell out a wad of cash

Buddy Ro

I might go ahead and order a brand new slave cylinder and a new clutch to be on the safe side. Anyone here know where i can order the parts or will i have to go to JC Whitney?
