A few days ago I was driving my 89 turbo 7mgte 5 speed (R154). In mid drive I went to shift from 2nd to 3rd and it wouldn't go into gear. I pulled over and the car would no longer go into any gears. I popped the hood and checked the master cylinder fluid level, and it was down about 2/3rds of the way. Not low enough to suck air into the system. I have owned this car for 20 years and never noticed the fluid level being low. It must be leaking from somewhere and I figured maybe air got in the system that way preventing the clutch from engaging. I checked under my carpet and also followed the lines from the master to the tranny and do not see any leaks. Any ideas where to go from here?
Also, the car goes into all gears fine with the car not running. One additional item, the prior own installed an ACT stage 1 clutch so I am assuming a stock clutch but slightly upgraded pressure plate. Don't think this really matters though b/c its been perfect for the past 20 years. The car is not a daily, just a weekend ride.
