Clutch trouble.

I went out of town for a week and left my baby sitting, but had someone come and warm it up a couple times while i was gone.

Anyway, I went driving today and the clutch pedal was nearly at the floor, and slowly worked it's way even farther to the floor, and further lower to where it does not work but I'm not missing any fluid at all.

I have yet to do anything with the master or slave and have not had this problem before, so I figured I might as well ask some of you guys before I make things worse =].

The clutch was shifting really low this morning, and worked it's way so that it was no longer working by the end of the day. I checking the master cylinder, and it has the same amount of fluid it always had... what can I check and what can I do? I would like to get this finished by monday night (class.)

Thanks in advance.

Check the clutch cable itself, or the linkage in general. Maybe its all stretched out.

Hate to say it, but also could be the clutch. Same thing happended to my Mustang. But dont worry, just check those thingas out and go from there.

Good Luck

i was probably your "friend" who warmed it up. I'd recommend that you bleed your clutch, and try adjusting the clutch pedal height, i was having the same problems when i bought my car and, after 15 minutes of bleeding and adjusting felt like brand new

Check inside the dust boot on the slave cylinder, if there's fluid in it, replace the cylinder.
