Hi i have a new leak i think it is pretty clear and consistancy like oil, im thinking tranny fluid? but i dont know if manual fuild is clear instead of red like auto fulid i had a manual swap done a couple years ago and they supposedly put it the best fluid i think called royal purple or something.. after i drive for an houur or so ( when its hot) the shifter seems really stiff.. sorry to be so non imformative but if you can help please do thanks!

Royal Purple is actually purple.

Brake fluid is the clearest fluid in the vehicle I would think...other than water. Maybe the clutch slave cylinder is leaking. Would explain the pedal feel.

Check the boot on your slave cylinder.

well the pedal is always good its the actual stick that gets stiff like in neutral if i put it all the way over to left or right it wont bounce back to the center it will stay only when its hot

it goes in and out of gear fine and grabs hard no slipping

im gonna guess power steering fluid? because clutch/brake was full p/s was low

exactly where is the fluid coming from. with the symptoms that you are describing, i would think tranny fluid. if you're low on fluid then the shifter does stick after it gets hot. i would tend to think tranny fluid, especially since you said the the pedal feels ok. be more descript about the location.
another thing to do is to degrease the area, clean it and then check closely to see where the fluid is coming from.

Power steering fluid in our cars actually takes ATF so it would be red. Instead of guessing what it is, why don't you jack the car up and take a look around.

well i cant jack up the car and look right now or for another 5 weeks because i broke my wrist/arm but im not real good with maunal trannys....is there somewhere to check to fluid in them?

Depends what year and how many cylinders is your car? Other then that all I can tell you about tranmission fluid is that it has a slimey texture, and depending on how old the fluid is it can be yellowish(new) to a dark gray(old).

Good luck!

well i guesss thats what it is cause it is less than 2 years old and all the symptoms lead to that ill have a friend check it out thanks guys
