I have no pressure in my clutch..

like the title says. last night all of a sudden i lost pressure in my clutch. it stuck to the floor and driving it home was a bi@#$ since i had to pick it up with my toe continuously, and the hard shifting as it grabbed and let go. so this mornin i tried to take it around the parking lot. got it in reverse, got stuck in reverse and car died out, once again clutch pedal to the floor....i checked the fluid level in the resavoir its been full all this time. I just tried bleeding the clutch lines. when valve is open of course it spews fluid. but when closed and its supposed to build pressure while pumping the pedal. it would not . im not sure where to look next. i checked the hoses up top. it all seems to be good, no leaks noticable. but it is kinda dark...just lookin for a direction to go. thanks~!

Seems like fluid is internally bypassing your master cylinder. Replace master cylinder.

i would say that its your slave but since it isnt building pressure then i would say that its the master. easily replaceable
