Default Clutch Problems

Hey Everyone, So over the past few months I've noticed my clutch have a bit of freeplay before it engages torwards the firewall. Well this morning my clutch went all the way to the ground and I could not put it into gear. I've read other posts regarding this issue, but i'm still a little unsure....Can this be a lack of fluid ONLY? Or is this most likely a slave/master cylinder problem? Or something else? Does anyone know a cost estimate for having any of these repaired?

Please help!!!


Thanks
-Eric

Did you check your clutch master cylinder? How full is it?

I checked the resevoir and it looked ok...Yea....I'll have to try and bleed it first. This has happened before, and I did the "clutch pedal adjustment" and it worked for about 1-2 months...Now back at it.


Thanks for the responses

If it's not a fluid issue, it sounds like the next place to look is the slave, then the master. I know when I put an upgraded clutch in my car I didn't even get home before the slave went out. Towing = expensive.
