Its most likely the master cyl. if it has ran dry then you will need to change the slave also as the lack of fluid will have distroyed the sleeve in the slave.
This has nothing to do with the new clutch kit........................

This has happend to me before. There was a leak somewhere in the clutch master cylinder line and the clutch pedal went to the floor quickly and stuck... I couldn't shift. Carry around some extra clutch fluid until you get it fixed.

man this brings back bad memories. it was fall, 2 years ago, beautiful friday night, was on the way up to Helen Ga, which has tons of wonderfully curvy mountain roads, beautiful place in the fall, for a weekend of rotary driving bliss in my 'vert, and the slave cylinder went out right as i got into town. had to tow it home. man i was pissed.

anyway, yeah its probably the master or slave, either way you should replace both. its not very expensive. and the SS line is a great upgrade to do, while your at it.
