85 GS clutch pedal, no tension.

So picked up my car awhile back, but here's the problem, the clutch pedal is stuck the floor. You can bring it forward, but as soon as you touch it it just slams against the floor.
I'm new to RX7's so is it linkage or something hydraulic?
85 GS with bone stock 12a drivetrain.

hydraulics.

you can try flushing and bleeding it - see if that helps, but if that fails replace the cylinders and upgrade the line.

I'll try a flush like diabolical said. If it doesn't work out I'll swap it, thanks.

My clutch has been pretty sketchy lately aswell. I bled it which has helped a little bit, but I ordered new clutch master and slave anyway. They are cheap enough from Rockauto even with shipping to the UK haha.
