So I'm 1 block from my house. Pull out onto the road, do a quick 1-2 pull to about 50ish then slow down. I go to hit the clutch pedal and theres nothing there, so I get in my turning lane and put it in neutral. I run out, pop my hood thinking clutch fluid is low, nope, completely full looks great. I look under at the pedal, looks fine, no leaks, rod slides in and out of master cylinder like normal, everything looks ok. So I'm sitting there calling my best friend like 6 times in a row to come save me, and then I get the idea to turn off the car, force it in 1st, and simply start the car and gas to go without stalling. I waited for traffic to clear, put it in 1st, took off the ebrake, got my foot on the gas ready to go and started her up. Jerk, jerk, and I crossed the street scraping my ic and into my apartment complex where i was able to roll into my garage just fine. Further examination proves nothing. No leaks anywhere under the car or in the engine bay or on the floor, master cylinder is fairly new (6 months old?) and like I said the pedal looks and functions fine, there's just no pressure in the pedal at all it either sinks to the floor or you pick it back up. Am I to assume this is the slave cylinder? There were no leaks coming from under the car and the fluid was still full in the engine bay.

Help :(

My 1st bet would be the slave cylinder since you recently replaced the master, as well as apparently heard no catastrophic failure. So probably no hard parts failed.

Have you pulled the inspection covers yet?

I know exactly what it is. The asdfkljkdsafklasdf is busted.
Agreed, I think he needs to check on his CSG too... looks like it might be starting to go on him. ;)

If it was the slave cylinder he'd be losing fluid wouldn't he?? I could be mistaken but I figure if it goes it'd be squirtin fluid through.....

Ive seen it happen on STOCK cars.....

A nice hard pull will do it....

you would still have clutch pressure though. You lost pressure in the lines - check for leaks.. If there are.no leaks, then bleed the clutch.

Well it was acting up this morning on the drive to/from work. I thought it was just me cuz I was wearing my work shoes.

Hmm..
I think your "new" master cylinder is a p.o.s. it sounds like the pedal is sticking to the floor and that, is a sign of a master malfunction.--BYPASSING--

Yeah, got beat to it - verify you have movement of the slave cylinder (have a friend push the clutch pedal while you look)

The ONLY two ways a slave cylinder can fail are

1. The piston physically gets STUCK and will not move.

2. Leaks and allows pressure to bleed off via leak.

Anything else with the hydralics is a leak or the master.

Negative, you have air in your hoses. Clutch petal hits the floor 90% of time its got a shit slave or air in the hoses.
