this thing just started. i drove it to work and left it for about 4 hrs. then got in it nad noticed the pedal was on the floor. i pumped it a few times by hand and nothing. no resistance at all. i checked to see if i was loosing fluid, nope res was full. i checked under my car just to be 100% and it was bone dry on the black top. Then all the sudden boom its like it catches again. idk what to think of this, it has a brand new master and slave for the clutch and i have full power im my breaks so its just the clutch. I dont know a whole lot about the trans and clutch stuff but before i go tearing into my bell housing to figure our wtf is going on has this happened to any one else and if so what was the issue? Do i need a new clutch or throw out bearing er something?

Try bleeding the clutch line from the bottom. I had a clutch that stuck to the floor and followed this diy and it fixed it.

good luck. -
Maybe the slave isn't seated properly. I would definitely try bleeding before re-seating the slave.Comment

My money is on a failed master or slave, even if it's brand new.Comment

I had same problem about 9 months ago. Not losing much fluid and yet I had no pressure. Number 7 on the chart was my problem. It was cracked where it bends. Peel back the carpet to see if there is any fluid seeping on the inside of the firewall.
