Hi All,

Today I went to drive to work and found the clutch was at the floor. The car had been sitting for about a week, but the clutch worked fine before.

I looked underneath and saw that there were some traces of fluid on the carpet and around the clutch master cylinder.

I pretty sure that replacing this will take care of my problem, but what I don't understand is why the clutch pedal would go to the floor by itself??

If there was a slow leak and fluid dirbbled out over a week, would the pedal be up and then of course when I push on it, it would have little resistance and go right to the floor.

I see there is a person on eBay (directauto) selling them for $36 with free shipping. Seems like a good price.

Thanks for any input/comments.
