Alright, so my clutch randomly stopped working today. I've never had problems with it like this. I've had it go low on me 3 times but after the 3rd time it never went low again, and it would go low over a period of a couple weeks. But today I came to a redlight and everything was workin properly then went to shift to 1st gear and nothing. Clutch didn't have normal pressure/feel to it, can't engage any gear while car is on, it's full of fluid. And it just randomly did this, no tell tell signs besides the resivoir going low on fluid (to the minimum line). It's my dd and I have a busy schedule being a student and working. I'm thinking master/Slavs cylinder, but any ideas?
 
Your clutch master cylinder may be bad.

Check for signs of leakage at your slave cylinder. Then check your master cylinder, most likely under the dash around the rod. (You may have to pull the rubber boot off)
 
Aftermarket clutches will wear out the slave and master quicker, my slave went out after a year when I put an ACT 2600 on. It's possible, so check for leakages, and I would suggest bleeding the clutch because it's easy

I'll check over it and do some test on the master and slave cylinder. And I'll check to make sure it's bled. Thanks
 
My clutch disk let go (XTD stage 4) and the hub sheared the rivots. I have photos I can post later. But it was just driving under light to medium load and no matter what happened with my shifter or cluth pedal, it wouldn't have gears or engagement etc...
 
my SB clutch blew the seal on a new master cylinder after only about a year. requires more pressure than stock to disengage it, so i could see it not lasting too long.
