What kind of fluid does my 1994 toyota paseo clutch system take

you need a new clutch the linkage will be fine

This usually means that the CV joint in the wheel is bad. It could also be a bearing.

If you mean the clutch switch for the starter it is usually on the pivot bar for the pedal.

Valvoline DEX/MERC Synthetic Transmission Fluid.

Ask your local parts store for a generic alternative that will be cheaper, but just as good.

Any good quality Auto trans oil (Dexron II or III)

You should replace the fuel filter and check for vaccum leaks. Also you should check the compression of your vehicle this might solve your problem.

Hello, and welcome to FixYa.

According to the Toyota service manual, your 1992 Paseo requires Dexron II automatic transmission fluid.

Your clutch hydraulic system is compromised. Look under the dash, where the clutch pedal has a rod going thru the firewall. If it is damp with oily fluid, your clutch Master Cylinder is leaking. Also, on the side of the transaxle, there is another cylinder, the clutch Slave Cylinder. It can be leaking, also. In any case, with a condition such as yours, I would recommend that you replace both the clutch master and slave cylinders. Over time, they can wear ionterally, and no develop the proper flui pressure to release the clutch.

you need to remove the steering wheel once the wheel is off you should be able to remove the switch

does it loose heat when you set still? is it full of coolent? whats the climent like were you at? is trans. low on fluid?when was the last time trans. was serviced? i know on most cars and trucks low fluid or old fluid can cause it to do what your saying, and also cold weather. some cars have a temp.sensor that won't let it shift into overdrive until car gets to a certain temp. with your temp. guage fluctuating the two could be related. has your service engine light ever come on and then went out, when it did this? if it ever has, have it scaned and see what codes show up. it might be that temp sensor i talked about. well thats the best i can do for you RON hope it helps or at least point you in the right direction to cure your problem.
