Well, it wasn't at the time. I was on my way to work on monday when I went to shift to third. had a little trouble, but noticed when I took my foot off the clutch, it didn't come back up So I pulled over right away and check my fluid (hydraulic clutch--it steadily looses some) and saw it was fine. So while I was parked, I pumped it a few times then took another look. Saw the fuild was half-way down in the resevoir. Looked under the car real quick and saw the shit drippin' out of the boot of the slave cylinder.

I was lucky it busted then when I was only 4 miles from home. As compared to goin' to my friends house that lives about an hour away or being stalled on a busy street. All worked out well. Gonna call some places tomorrow to see if I can find a replacement. And since she's in the garage now, I can fix a lot of other annoying problems, check all fluids, spark plugs, etc. The worst is the radio.... ....damn that is a mess.

for those that care, it was in fact the slave cylinder and we got it fixed. Cost $20. It was more to toe it ($60 for a flatbed) than it was to buy the part! I guess thats how it goes. Better it cost more to toe it than it does to fix it, anyday.

Did an oil change while I was at it. 5W-50 Synthetic--I should be able to hold out for another 6k miles or so
