I figured the clutch had finally gone out, but then I looked in the master cylinder and noticed that there was no brake fluid. The clutch doesn't seem to be slipping at all (yay). This thing has almost 190K on it and still has the original clutch. How should I proceed? '95 Sportage 4x4 5speed SOHC bone stock, 200,000 miles and counting. The KIA isn't as powerful as the dually, but it sure is easier to park.

The brake system and the clutch hydraulics share the same brake fluid. The first place to look for a leak is the clutch slave cylinder. It's located on the bellhousing on the passenger side. If no leak there go over the brake lines from front to back. It's leaking somewhere. 1998 Sportage - Gone. 2004 Honda Civic Coupe. 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara - She got it.

I did not notice until I looked under the system. I just disconected the swith and the truck still stops fine and does not leak anymore. 1985 Toyota 4x4 4Runner. 1989 Suzuki Sidekick 4x4.
