Well this evening i was driving and my clutch pedal went to the floor, No signs of slipping. I have the feeling either my clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder would be the issue. However i'm unable to locate such a resivior (currently, 11:30pm at night) or the parts. Does this vehicle actually contain these items or is it cable driven. If someone could assist me this evening it would greatly be appreciated.

i busted the inner ring off the clutch pad....in other words the clucth pad was in 2 pieces...even if fluid is low or any thing else the pedal should have some feel......what happens with the car running and you try to run the gears??

turn the car on and push in the pedal and try a gear if it grinds stop..
do you have brakes?
any other info

Yea i had brakes, i was unable to get in any gear. I've noticed that it has been a small issue every once in a while that i couldn't get in gear but if i pushed the clutch and released it thand pushed it again it would engage.

It wont even grind i'd have to force the forks to push the gears together. Its as if there is no clutch and the pedal is still stuck on the floor i can move it by hand up and down; however, it will not engage.

oh yeah it it's broken.....unless you're spewing fluid everywhere and soon without brakes...your clutch is done

I do not know if the setup is the same, but on my 95 Eclipse GST my clutch dropped to the floor and it is because there was air in the clutch lines from not being bled properly... it happend a couple times, the clutch just loses all feeling and drops to the floor.

A blown slave cylinder will prevent you from engaging the gears and keep the pedal on the floor. Check your fluid level and both the master cylinder and slave cylinder for signs of leaks. Its a hydraulic set up and not cable. Most likely your clutch is fine,unless its been abused or you have extreme high mileage.
