Started my car yesterday....?

ok yesterday i started my car, the last time i was in it the clutch worked, but yesterday it was dead just flopping so I checked the fliud and it was full. what could be the problem is it not set in properly or has a linkage or cable come undone. I know nothing about how the clutchs goign to the traqnsmission, but i couldnt drive it cause there was nothing . but the last time i used it, it did work.

I did a search for this yesterday but i have no clue what to look under

any help would be appriciated

k i was hoping it was somehting like this rather then trying to track down a connecting rod or something. the only reason why i wouldnt think it would have been with the fliud is because no even 4 months ago it was wotking

Have you tried to just let the car run and pump the pedal by hand? Sometimes you can get the pressure to come back up this way. I've had this happen in my SA before and it was a temp fix till I replaced the cylinder.

You don't NEED a clutch to drive your car.
