Okay, for the last two days my clutch has been extremely soft to the touch. It takes barely any pressure to put it to the floor. Also, the pedal will sometimes stick to the floor and I'll have to pull it back up. Its engaging, as I'm not having any problems shifting, unless its really cold out. (Yes the sticking problem started happened with the decrease of temp).

My resevoir was bone dry when I checked it, but after filling it back up it hasn't leaked. Could it be that my assembly needs adjustment? I'm going to bleed the lines tomorrow morning, and see what that does. Any advice or opinions are appreciated.
 
could be a problem with your master cylinder, slave cylinder, or clutch. When my clutch went out, I had the same problems that you did.
 
my car did the same thing... clutch slave cylinder went out..
Scared the living shit out me, as i was exiting a busy highway, pressed the clutch in, shifted, let out the clutch, and... SHIT! the clutch never came back up, had to pull it up... I managed to limp to a parking lot, adjusted my clutch petal a bit, got back it, shifted pretty good up to fourth, went to go to fifth and lost all pressure, petal stuck to the floor, and even with the petal to the floor I still couldn't get the car into gear, so I coasted to the next parking lot, had it towed. Turns out it was the slave cylinder...
So I replaced the slave and master cylinder, and replaced the lines with steel lines
 
Hate to revive older threads, but figured it was better than starting a new one. Ok, just had my slave cylinder replaced when I had the same problems. It all started one day while I was on the highway doing about 75 and my power steering and alternator belts decided to eat themselves alive. Ok, but my clutch also started sticking to the floor earlier that day. Got everything fixed, and now my clutch is fux0red again. Started getting really soft today, and now I can't even get it into gear to drive it anywhere. Could the dealership have screwed something up? Or do I need both slave and master replaced? Any help needed ASAP, this is my only car.
