    clutch pedal has no resistance/feedback

    so i went to start my car today and i noticed the clutch has no pressure when i step on it.

    This is a new issue as the last time i drove it, there no was no signs of this problem. The clutch still engages but only at the VERY bottom. I havent tried to drive it since i didnt wanna get stuck, but it does engage.

    I have no idea what the issue could be since, like I said, there were no signs of this a couple days ago.

    Did you check for signs of master and slave cylinder leaks? Look for brake fluid on the ground (clutch uses brake fluid from the same reservoir on the brake booster) and under the clutch pedal. Did you check the fluid level? Top that off then bleed the system.

        It will work until it leaks out again. If the fluid was low enough to expose the piston in the master cylinder to air then you now have air in the line and need to bleed the system. If the leak was bad enough at the slave cylinder to suck air in then you need a new one.

              Where was the leak? if it was under the slave then the master is likely on its way out too!

                If there is air in the line (probably) then the clutch won't work well or at all. You can try bleeding the system but if either master or slave is bad the clutch won't work well or at all, wasting the time you took bleeding the system. Find the leak, replace the part, then bleed the system.
