Can Dirty clutch fluid cause problems?
Dirty or low clutch fluid levels can seriously damage the master and slave cylinders. While adding or changing out the clutch fluid is a fairly inexpensive repair, once the master or slave cylinder is damaged, the repair cost will go up dramatically. Contaminated clutch fluid should be replaced as soon as possible.
What color should my clutch fluid be?
Ideally it should be as clear or clearer than your brake fluid (they use the same fluid). The clutch fluid gets pumped more frequently than the brakes so it gets dirtier quicker.
Why is there no pressure on the clutch?
Barely enough to spring the clutch pedal back. There is NO fluid leak. Reservoir is full. I bled the slave cylinder and there is no air in the system. However, the fluid (when pumping the clutch) came out rather slowly. I replaced the slave cylinder in my Commodore yesterday and it was spitting out fast when bleeding the clutch.
What to do if your clutch doesn’t work?
If there is no leak, then there may be air in the clutch hydraulic system. I recommend bleeding the clutch slave cylinder and the clutch master cylinder. If you need further assistance with your clutch not working, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you. Was this answer helpful? Thank you for your feedback!
Is there fluid leaking from the clutch pedal?
No, pressure remains constant no matter how many times I pump it. No fluid leaks at slave cylinder or master cylinder. However, the clutch pedal where the rod goes into the firewall has very slight oil present but when I pumped the pedal nothing was leaking. Where the rod goes into the firewall it has a a little bit of play in it.
What kind of clutch pressure does a focus have?
Car is a 2005 Ford Focus. The car has very little clutch pressure (cannot engage any gears). Barely enough to spring the clutch pedal back. There is NO fluid leak. Reservoir is full. I bled the slave cylinder and there is no air in the system. However, the fluid (when pumping the clutch) came out rather slowly.
Why do I have no pressure on my Clutch?
If there is no pressure at all, most likely the throw-out bearing fork rod or the linkage to it broke. If a pressure plate is worn, or t/o bearing bad, flywheel scorched, all that you would sttill feel pressure on the petal.

Can you replace a clutch disc with a pressure plate?
-Always replace both the pressure plate and clutch disc with new components. Never combine a worn pressure plate with a new clutch disc or vice versa. components, especially the mounting hole locations. In some cases, your new Centerforce assembly may not look exactly like the removed clutch assembly or the assembly depicted on the packaging.
Do you remove the disc from the clutch assembly?
Do not remove from the system from the clutch assembly. Dual Friction Clutch assembly is designed to provide a positive engagement with daily drivability. Install the Dual Friction disc with side indicating “Flywheel Side” against the flywheel (typically the segmented or puck style facing as shown).
