call stalling out, clutch?

i have a '87 rx-7 non-turbo
last week i was driving home and my clutch pedal got stuck to the floor. so i checked my fluid level on my clutch master cylinder and noticed it was low. so i flushed and bleed teh lines. it seemed to fix the problem but tonight the same thing happend but with the clutch pedal pushed in my car stalled and a stop light, along witth the pedal sticking to the floor agian.

my fluid in my CMC is still at full and im not sure what is going on?

any help on what might be going on would be greatly appreciated.

when my CMC went out, i just replaced it. i didn't replace the slave cylinder, but it wouldn't be a bad idea. your best bet is to change the CMC. check for leaking fluid before you do anything, it could be a busted clutch line, but it's unlikely.

Yes, replace the clutch hose and slave at the same time, if you can afford it. The components all age at the same time, and replacing one failing part will usually cause the other part(s) to fail also - it's just a domino effect of weakest-link-in-the-chain.
