Ummm....

Did you read the OPs first post?

"...when I try to start out is my clutch is stuck to the floor, NADA...won't come up...its out. Push the NEW (just got the plates) off the side of the road. Check out my clutch fluid..BONE F'N Dry...WTH?!?!?!

So i go and get some fluid form the local store and put it in ( I Know I need to bleed it, but I just wanted to see if/where the leak is.) pump the clutch and drips right out to the bottom."

Ummm...do you know what a symptom is? Is there anything that would indicate a potential failure in the future? You know how a sore throat is the first sign (aka symptom) of a cold or flu? That's a symptom.

So I reiterate, is there a symptom that drivers can look out for that could indicate a possible clutch failure? The actual failure is not a symptom when it's already happened.

Edit: 1Slow370Z described it well. Thanks.

clutch fluid leakage from the bellhousing, clutch getting stuckto the floor, engagement point sinking down to near the floor with very little clutch wear, common enough on several nissan models to piss people off but not enough for nissan to have a PR field day and have to do another recall like the did with the first revup and hr 350's
