Clutch problem..

Ok The clutch sticks to the floor, however..The guy who had it before me didn't put any fluid in the clutch master cylinder, so I imagine I just need to bleed the system..Maybe replace thhe master and slave cylinder..how much do thoose normally go for? I don't have ANY money right now haha, I just lost my wallet, so I'll probaly have to wait till I get paid.

My clutch is on the floor as well. I'm going to flush the system sometime this week after the ignition work is done. My fluid is brown and cloudy, so I think it needs a complete flush and refill. I'll get some DOT 4 at Parts Plus tomorrow when I pick the iggy parts up.

Of course, sitting for 10 months without being pressed makes for a system to slowly lose pressure.

sitting over time can make for very minute pressure loss.. any dramatic loss is indicative of a leak somewhere.... or low/bad fluid

100 bucks aint bad at all, That's good to hear. I think there might be a leak though, There was no fluid in the master and I thought I could feel fluid on the underside of it. Sucks, I spilled some brake fluid up by my windshield...oh well, new paintjob anyways. no biggie.
