[V6-12v] Clutch Problem

[Brian O'Neill]

the v6 cars did not have a bomb, thank goodness !! sounds like a clutch  slave cylinder. im not sure if you have to remove the trans, i have  never heard of a car that you did thou for that. or maybe you popped  the hydralic line that works it ?? is there fliud under your car ?? and  is your brake master cylinder full ?? that is where it gets its fliud  from.

I don't have the solution to your clutch issue, although I suspect it  
relates to the hydraulic pressure container (the "bomb") in some way.
