[DML] Re: Clutch Problem

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Open the hood and remove the rubber cover next to the gas fill, the
one closer to the side of the car. Underneath you will find the
resovoir for the clutch system. Look inside and see if there is any
fluid in there. I am guessing it is empty. You probably need to get a
clutch master AND slave cylinders, one of them (possibly both) have
failed. In any case it is just good practice to replace both of them
at the same time. If you haven't gotten the braided metal hose this is
a good time to replace it too. The clutch on a Delorean does not use a
cable, it is hydraulic.

extremely loose.  I still have the original stiff clutch.  When I
press on the pedal it feels like a normal loose clutch, found in
today's cars, for about 75% of the way.  The remaining quarter of the
way, it feels like it should.  It won't go into gear all the time, but
will sometimes.
