Clutch Wont Go Into Gear Options

[douglassaunders]

Hey everyone I just picked up a 2007 elantra and the car has been sitting for about two years. well it starts up fine sounds good but when i push the clutch in it is super light and it wont go into any gears forward or reverse. It does not get stuck down it goes through the motion perfectly it just does not seem to have any pressure. Any help would be great. PS all the fluid levels look full and there is no leaks that I can see.

Try bleeding the clutch hydraulics and see if that helps first, you might just have air in the system or the check valve is stuck. Otherwise, looks like you'll have to drop the transmission and find out the story with the clutch.

whats the best way to bleed the hydraulics

if the car has been sitting for two years its very likely that the clutch drive plate is frozen (siezed) between the pressure plate and the flywheel......sometimes you can free it off, sometimes not, try putting the car in first gear before you start the engine, do this a few times. you might be lucky
