Ok, here's what's happening...

My clutch fluid reservoir goes bone dry... I lose all pressure in my clutch pedal... and I can't push the shifter into any gear, no matter how hard I try.

About once a week, I'll have to pour DOT3 in the reservoir and keep pumping the pedal to get bubbles out and get pressure back.

Is my slave cylinder going bad? Or is it something else?

Dude, is this on an EP3 or DC5?

Anyway, have you seen any type of fluid leak? Get with pdiggs. He is the master of brake systems...

You might just be able to bleed the clutch lines. I had to do that in my s13. But it also could be your slave cylinder, it all depends. Replace it or keep refilling your resevior.
