Clutch pedal stays on floor

my clutch pedal stays on the floor. The master cylinder and slave cylinder are ok. I can pull and push the clutch pedal in and out. Any suggestions?

When was the last time you bled the system?

Don't know which gen you have but could be a broken clutch fork if an FD iirc...
Could be a broken clutch disc too

Check the clutch fork, if everything seem okay. Then I would bleed it next.
Have a friend or gf make sure the clutch res is always full.
Go down to the bleeder valve next to the tranny completely remove the valve, and let gravity feed itself. "dont forget to get the helper to fill it with more fluid at the res"
after you see the fluid is clean and good, LOCK IT back up.
At this point your clutch should be bleed already. but if you want to make sure you can follow the following steps:

1) open bleeder valve
2) get helper to depress the clutch, and HOLD IT DOWN, WHILE IT BE PRESSED DOWN>>> TIGHT THE VALVE up.
3)Clutch might not come up, but if you pull it it should auto fill and be ready to go.

I just did mind clutch bleed about 2 weeks ago, it was super easy.

You can also get a couple feet of clear hose and attach to the bleeder nipple and run over to the clutch master instead of letting the fluid run over everything.

How do you know the clutch master is ok? What you're describing is one of symptoms of a failed clutch master. If you look up above the pedal, you can see if the rod going into the master is wet or if the master is leaking at all.

Other than that, for it to suddenly do what it's doing is odd. Have someone watch the clutch fork while you press the pedal to see if there's anything funny happening

I have a similar issue with clutch going to the floor. Thought it was a good time to replace the master cylinder and slave cylinder as those parts seem fairly inexpensive with all new fluid. Is there a brand that is recommended or a brand that I should stay away from?

Exedy sells the clutch master. No real reason to buy any other brand
