Question: I have a 96 Camry won't go in gear: If I switch the car off then put it in gear it works but doesn't want to change gears while driving. Could it be the clutch plate? Help!
Intelligent Tinkering: First, check to see you have some fluid in the clutch master cylinder reservoir. If not, or low, put some in and pump away on the pedal to see if it begins to shift easier. If it does, you have a leak somewhere. Then, if filling and pumping doesn't prove a leak, if you can see the slave cylinder, get a buddy to pump the pedal. As he does that, you watch to see if the slave cylinder piston is actually moving the forks. I've never been under the hood of a manual Camry so I don't know if you can see the slave cylinder. If not, bleed the clutch before you do anything else. If you can prove to yourself that the clutch master and slave cylinder are working, then you may begin to decide you need a new clutch, but not until.
