ZOMG! DISASTER!

You need to sell your car or it will catch on FIRE!!!


If you did a quick search you'd find out it happens all the time. Somethign in your clutch hydraulic system failed. If I was you I'd replace both the clutch master and slave cylinders. One of them is bad.

Try bleeding the clutch with the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder. My clutch pedal did the same thing when I first got the car, it worked fine after bleeding it.

Just bleed it, i bet that fixes it, also if your fluid is black, then bleed ALL of the old fluid out, do it until the new fuild is all that comes out. I just did this to mine and it works perfect.

If you bleed everything and your still having issues I would suggest rebuilding the master cylinder. I had the same problem you are having and after bleeding it still went to the floor. After opening up the master cylinder I looked at the spring that is inside of it and compared it to the new one and it was compressed too much. Once I reinstalled the new pieces everything worked great. GL
