    Default Clutch problem

    I was driving today down the highway everything was cool I get off the exit and go to push the clutch down to pull it out of gear and the pedal sunk to the floor and stayed there and I couldnt pull it out of gear.So I used my foot and scooped the pedal from the floor and it came back up and out of gear but now when i drive there is no hardness to the pedal anymore and to shift I have to push the pedal all the way down to the floor.The pedal feels kind of squishy but still comes back up but i cant feel where the clutch is anymore,any ideas?

    Check your clutch fluid lately? May have some air in the system.

    Most likely need a new clutch master cylinder, is there any fluid leaking from it?

    If the pedal is sticking in the down position then there is obviously a pressure loss somewhere: whether it's an air pocket in the line, leaking somewhere, or getting past the plunger in the master cylinder which will eventually leak down the firewall...either in the engine bay or under the dash.

    Probably because the fluid is so cold...once it warms up it will be a different story.

    Back when I had a 93 Stealth I had a slave cylinder go out. No fluid leak but I had no pressure on the clutch pedal.
