Unhappy Clutch went to the floor!

My clutch pedal went to the floor and stayed there. I pulled the trans and the throw-out bearing is fine. I checked the release cylinder that sits on the top of the trans and pulled the dust boot off, there was fluid in there. Could it be just the release cylinder or could it be the clutch master cylinder? Thanks.

Mines doing that every now and then, but I need to get a new clutch, since mine is slipping really bad in 3rd+ gears.

My NA was doing it too, but then I found my Master Cylinder was dead, and replacing that fixed the problem. THEN it started to do it again, so I'm up for just getting a brand new clutch in it.

The fork looked fine. The trans is still sittin underneath the car. The master cylinder looked ok. So the slave cylinder is the same thing as the clutch release cylinder??

I replaced the clutch slave cylinder, and the clutch and pressure plate as well. It was the slave cylinder.
