Can't get into gear...
I've been noticing that getting into gear from a stop has been difficult. It got worse quickly. Now I can't hardly get the shifter into gear and also noticing the clutch is catching almost instantly when letting it out. What is happening??

I had a similar issue and it turned out that my clutch fluid was very low. I filled the reservoir and it was like I installed a new clutch. Good luck.

Yes, it’s on the driver’s side, close to the firewall and under the computer.

Re: Can't get into gear...
If...when you do remove the cap, you or your mechanic should bleed the clutch MASTER and SLAVE cylinders first. Then keep a close eye on the level, looking for signs of leakage.
Good luck!

Re: Can't get into gear...
I also had to use Channel lock pliers the first time, just wrap the cap with a rag. When refilling keep the level below the full mark or when you insert the black cup it will overflow.
