Hello, hello....
I had a situation last week with my HHR 2006, I was driving usually and in an around about I had to stop the car when I tried to engage the first gear to continue I can't, the clutch pedal go down and not let me to engage, the pedal going down and back but very soft not any pression, as like loose something, I saw on the nitch of the car liking but after a few minutes was ok, stop to leaking, just I turn off the car, I put the first gear and on the car and run(just in the first or second gear) but don't let me changing other gear, when I arrived to my home and parking I put brake fluid and I saw still leaking on the bottom, so somebody can give an idea why happens that? is transmission issues? or other issues?.somebody had that kind of experience?

Thanks so much

If the clutch master cylinder is leaking it must be replaced. Possibly the throw out bearing is sticking and or the slave cylinder also.

Master is up on the firewall, slave is down in the bell housing.

The thing that has a drip is the thing that is leaking.

but I need to make sure wich one has the issues master or slave cylinder , how can I test?

Visually,
or, with a clean rag
If no leak is seen at the master then it is the slave

If it's the slave cylinder, I would think that the clutch would be slipping pretty bad because the fluid will be contaminating the friction surface.

It could potentially be the line between the 2 cylinders that is leaking.

How much fluid did you have to put in to fill the reservoir?

thanks RJ_RS_SS_350 but How can I see and inspect that line between 2 cylinders? from the bottom of the car? or from the engine?. I can engage the gear if the car is off, but if is in idling no.
thanks in advance
