It's not external leakage. It is internal leakage in the cylinder, you won't see fluid leaking. The seals in the cylinder get worn out and don't move the fluid anywhere so that whys your fork doesn't get depressed to disengage your clutch.

I learned today that trying to do a clutch without an alignment tool sucks big time, if that helps.

I would not even attempt to install a clutch without an alignment tool.

mine came with an alignment tool. and it was a time consuming task but with help i was able to do it. on my maxima it took a while to do it because it is a fwd transaxle. but when i did my bros bmw it only took 2 days. and they both worked well until just now when my car stoped. anyone with ideas that could prevent me from having to take it all apart again? thank all you.

i dont want to have to do this... but i am going to take it somewhere and have a new clutch put in. i pulled the boot off the fork and shot some compressed air in there and clutch dust went all over the place. and it smelt bad like burnt clutch. so i have to pay to get it done. this is bull. but idk what else to do. no way in hell am i going to do that again, it took that much time with help. i cant imagine doing it alone.
