clutch help

[airmanhoward]

so i came home last night around 3am and she was 100% fine. when i get into it to go to the store today around 3pm my clutch goes straight in to the firewall. i checked the brake/clutch fluid level and i was completely gone. so i refilled it and not it still isn't working. is there something else i can do/missing?

If it was missing, there is obviously a leak in the system. Refilling the resevoir will not fix the problem, or even provide temporary relief. The systme now has air in it.

You will need to locate the leak, fix it, then bleed the system.

Places to look:

Around the brake booster (could be master cylinder)
Each brake caliper (and associated brake lines)
Under the transaxel (would indicate the slave cylinder is leaking)

And if slave cylinder is leaking, no bueno. Not an easy fix compared to the other things to check for.

You can also look at the spring clip that holds the hyraulic fluid line onto the connector at the bell housing I know that's what mine did it just popped off one day.

if the slave went there willl be brake fluid under the car.

also the brake fluid resivior will not be completely empty if just the clutch master or slave fails and leaks out. if its completely empty I would suspect that the leak is at a brake line, or in the brake system.
