Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The other day when I engaged the clutch in my 5sp 2002 Boxster, the clutch remained floored and would not shift gears. I am not a mechanic, but attempting a self diagnosis and guessing it might be my slave cylinder. I do not have an owner's manual for this vehicle and googling conflicting information and hoping I can get some answers in here.... 1) On a 2002 Boxster, does the clutch fluid and brake fluid share the same reservoir? 2) If not, where is the clutch fluid added???

POST 2Original post

Yes, they share the same reservoir.

POST 3Original post

Good possibility is that your clutch has air in it. Try bleeding the clutch system. If that is the reason, the 'fix' is almost no-cost to sort out (unlessa somethign is really wrong that caused the air in to the clutch system...).

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was thinking so. O'Reilly told me they were different systems with unique fluid.

POST 5Original post

Sam, you mentioned that you are not a mechanic, but bleeding the brakes (and clutch), is not a difficult task, as long as you can put the car on jackstands to remove the four wheels. I would suggest you to buy a Motive Power Bleeder, is not expensive and very easy to use, there are many videos showing the bleeding process, good luck!

POST 6Original post

Yes, the clutch and brakes share the same fluid reservoir in the front trunk near the windshield. Check the fluid level and top it off with DOT 4 brake fluid if it’s low. If the clutch still sticks, the slave or master cylinder may be failing and could need replacement or bleeding.

POST 7Original post

This was happening to my 2001 Boxster S with the 6 speed and I believe it was related to some cracked fingers in my pressure plate. It stopped happening after I replaced the clutch and pressure plate.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
