Hi All,
The clutch always gripped very quick since we had the car. Today the clutch went to the floor and it won't come up without help. The clutch disengages when I put it up and down but the pedal won't come up without help?

What can this be? Slave/master or clutch?

Any sign of fluid
Most common is slave
Much easier to do master first though

no sign of fluid any where, I felt at the master inside and out. No fluid seems to appear at gear box.

Could be slave and it's just being held in the hell housing

Oh dear. You could try disconnecting the quick-release coupling above the gearbox (pull the pedal up first). Then try the pedal - it should be rock hard. If not, you've isolated the master as the problem. I suspect your problem is with the slave or clutch - which it is doesn't matter as you'll have to pull the box off for either.
