Clutch Problems.
I have a 1984 12a RX7. Completely stock. I replaced the clutch disc about two years ago, but haven't driven the car much up until three months ago, when it became my daily driver.
My problem is this. A few days ago, I pushed in the clutch to put it into 1st gear from neutral. I tried to put it into 1st, but it didn't go. So I pushed the clutch in again, but realized that it was stuck all the way to the floor. Sitting at a stop sign, I kicked at it lightly a few times. After about three light kicks, it popped back. All was well for now. Then, two days ago, it happened when I was pulling out of a restaurant. The clutch pedal dropped to the floor and since then, has not returned, despite being able to pull it back with my hand(If I pull it back, it has no pressure, and immediately drops to the floor and is stuck.
Since then, I've been powershifting only to get to work and back, since I know that is bad for the already shabby transmission.
Now, my car does not have a clutch cable, it has a hydraulic pedal sort of thing, like brakes do. Any ideas? I need answers quick!

Sweet. I looked on Drivewire.com, which is where I grab most of the generic goodies for my Rex. It's listed under two items, one significantly more expensive than the other. One is a Clutch Master Cylinder, the other is a clutch master and slave cylinder assembly. Which one do I need?
