Hi, my name is David and I recently joined this forum because my friend told me that this was where he got all the advice he needed for his MR2.

I drive a 1989 MR2 NA with the 4-AGE engine which I got from the friend and a pretty serious problem occurred for me.

I found that the master cylinder was leaking(to the point that the driver's side carpet was wet with oil). It got bad enough that I could barely engage the gears and shift. Since I neither have the time or knowledge to try to fix it myself, I took it to an auto shop and got it fixed. Right after I got it back, it was driveable but I noticed that the clutch was EXTREMELY light and lost all the pressure.

I started it up this morning and I had a hard time shifting again. So, I wanted to know if I need to replace the clutch now or if its the slave cylinder thats gone bad or if it's something else wrong with the car. It only has 140k miles.

Also, if anyone lives in SoCal, which mechanic would you recommend if I needed to repair my MR2 since it's gonna be a while before I can do anything myself. Any advice would help and thanks a lot!
