Angry help me (trans problem)

okay maybe not a trans problem as much as a possible clutch problem...... so i was driving home on the 94 like always when i push my clutch in and it stickls to the floor and i was like f_ck*, and i could put it in gear and the clutch would not disengage, so i used my foot to pull the pedel back up, and the clutch worked fine again for like 6 more shifts the next time it went to the floor the clutch never engaged and it has not engaged since, i drove my car from lemon grove to el cajon and back to la mesa without a clutch, so here is the thing i have fixed a few trans. before, and it seems like a hydralic problem to me, is it my clutch, is there a place to add clutch fluid in these cars..... i really need some help.....

Good speed matching shifting. I wish I could give you advice I but I know very little in that area, I just had to comment on your ability to shift w/o the clutch. Did you match the synchro rate by reving it between shifts in neutral?


Sorry I didn't give any advice but it sounds like something is very wrong, but simple.

It uses the brake fluid Reservoir for fluid. Top right hand side of the engine compartment.

Sounds like low fluid for your master or slave cyclinder or they could have went bad. Check your fluid first.
