    Slave or Master?

    My clutch pedal had dropped to the floor no pressure in the pedal or nothing. Knowing its going to be the master cylinder or the slave cylinder, I would like to know your input. There was not one drop of fluid on the floor or on the inside of the car which has thrown me off. Clutch is a brand new Sachs. Replaced literally 2 weeks ago. Fluid level is the same level it was at before this issue has happened. Can anyone else help me with this? :(

        First thing I would do is get under there and visually inspect the clutch master and it's connections. The rod to the pedal sometimes breaks, sometimes the bracket breaks especially if you have a stiff clutch. Check it all out first before getting under the car and checking the slave.

          There does not have to be a fluid leak for a defective cylinder. It can be pulling air into the system without squirting fluid out! If you can't find a leak and fluid level stays the same change both slave and master and save yourself the headache.
