do you see any leaks any where or puddles under the car?

the only puddle under the car is when it first went out. i can't see the hose under the car due to the fact i couldn't get the car that high due to the jack i'm using.

i wonder if it was the right master. that could cause it to do that

so the fluid came out when it went? you might want to check your slave then

now the new one came with a longer stick peice on it. the little rod that goes in the rubber boot. i used the old one cause the new one seemed to long. maybe i should try putting it on. couldn't hurt huh?

Im more than sure that can be the problem

it sounds like your slave cylinder, due to it having a longer push rod, is not letting your clutch plate engage properly and behaves like a slipping clutch.

yea that can be it. if that isnt it then maybe it can be adjusted like a brake master cylinder

well its a longer rod, and it has a a nut and another nut looking thing that come together to lock to make it stay in place. its almost twice as long as the old one.

try to put the original one back in. i bet it is a simple adjustment since it has threads and a bolt. ill check a fsm to see if there is something about adjusting it
