Exclamation Clutch pedal problems....

Long story short, last night i drove to my girlfriends house, the clutch was fine, stayed there for a few hours and went to leave and noticed the clutch was funny, it would have almost no resistance and was tough driving home, after grinds and curses i got it home, left it for the night, and went back this morning to go move it to the garage to take a look at it, NOW, there is no resistance what-so ever in the cluch pedal and i cannot shift gears, at all....

anyone have any idea whats wrong with the car?...

make sure there isn't a leak anywhere, and you have fluid?

The slave is mounted on th bellhousing. Follow the rubber line near the firewall from the clutch master cylinder. Did you change fluid recently? Doesn't sound like it just needs bleeding (air in system). The master cylinder may be toast, and leaking internally in the sense that the fluid goes past the pistons/seals. Check again for leaks, including inside near the top of the pedal, and fluid level just to be sure.

it's raining outside so i cant exactly check and confirm if it's leaking or not....

the master cylinder was full when i checked, and at a quick glance there doesent seem to be any leakage from anywhere else....

master, slave, or both have taken a **** on you.

They're cheap to replace, and easy to change.

the slave is pooched to some extent, i see a puddle under the car now right underneath where the slave sits, and it's far below the "min" line....

problem being, how the **** do i get it out, i dont see any bolts or anything, unless they are on the inside of the car under the dash?...
