clutch problems

85 has been shifting smooth, throwout bearing making a little noise but not much. It happened pretty quick. The peddle depresses easlily, but the clutch will not disengage. Disengagement was at first partial then none at all. No other noises are occuring, so I figured it must be the clutch master cyl or the slave cyl. Both probably need replace anyway, would this be a good place to begin or is it probably something else? Like I said, all gears have been smooth.
Thanks,
Todd

Yep... sounds like a clutch master/slave prob.

Good rule of thumb is to replace them both at the same time, cause the failure of one will usually soon be followed by the other.

Your diagnosis seems accurate. I recommend replacing both plus the rubber hose between them for good measure. Good luck!

Ok, thanks for the help guys. I thought that's what it was, but wanted a second opinion.
God bless,
Todd
