Ok, well, I got up this morning and found that my clutch just hits the floor with very little pressure. So I pop the hood, find that they're no fluid, which was weird because it was working fine last night. So I fill it up, and still no pressure. It emptied once before and I filled it up and could at least feel some pressure. I have no pressure on the pedal. Feels almost like it's disconnected from something. Things I'm thinking are bad:

1) clutch fork
2) clutch cable
3) master or slave cylinder (of course)
4) disconnection of the clutch system from somewhere.

Here's my question. Is there a way I can quickly check to see if the clutch fork is broken without without removing the transmission or too many components? Same question for the clutch Cable? Could it be the throwout bearing as well? Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Chris.

I would lean more towards the master and or the slave. When was the last time these have been replaced? You said this happened before, did you replace them then or just add fluid. If you didnt replace do so, bleed the system witha friend (always easier and faster). Shouldn't set you back more than an hour and 30 bucks.

I didn't replace anything on the car. I'm also not sure when they've been replaced. I just added fluid, and everything went back to normal. I guess I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the info.

Definitely check inside under by your foot pedals the master might be leaking there but since you went through all the fluid it's probably the slave. Do a thorough inspection.
