I just recently purchased this civic for a grand not really knowing too much about it...anyways the clutch was originally pretty loose (which the guy who sold it to me said thats how it normally feels on 5th generation civics) and maybe after a week of driving, the car kept grinding going into reverse. After i started noticing that, when i started the car, i wouldnt be able to shift into any gears because the clutch wouldnt engage or disengage it just fell straight to the floor. Now the car is sitting in front of my girlfriends house and i havent been able to do anything to it.
I did a search and thought my clutch was blown, but from doing some searches a lot of people say it could be because there are bubbles in the clutch fluid, or just no fluid at all, in which that case how would i be able to tell which the clutch reservoir is?
I've seen other posts about this and have searched but im guessing a lot of people on this forum have some pretty basic knowledge about where things are in terms of under the hood. I've never worked on a car and this is all pretty new to me, if someone could guide me in the right direction with some good step by step pictures or where i could find a book that would be much appreciated. Or even better if someone in the sunnyvale/san jose area would be able to come out and actually lend me some of their time i would greatly return the favor with a good amount of beer, your choice of course.
