Alberta,
So, today I was driving to spokane. Got off the highway after about a 30 mile drive. When I was idleing, I had it in first and the clutch pressed in. I noticed that the rpm's were slowly dropping off and I was like wtf. Then the car kind of started trying to move then died. I turned it back on then realized that the clutch was stuck to the floor. I lifted it up with my foot, and all was fine. I tested it out and let it idle without being in gear and pushed the clutch in and it did nothing. Then put it in gear and the same thing happened. I read some things on here that said that it could be the master cylinder, or possibly something else. I didnt really see any situations that looked the same as mine. So any help would be appreciated. Oh and the clutch, flywheel, and transmission are broke in, but only have about 1200-1500 miles on them.
 
Theres no more fluid in the resevoir. It was half empty this morning then I drove it and it was totally empty. Theres no leaking inside the car. Im thinking it's the slave cylinder. I took it to a shop because I dont have the time or patience right now to look at it order a part and fix it. Between school and track, its to difficult.
 
hey if you get to it follow the tech article on bleeding. I bleed my clutch forever and i did the slave cylinder and farted air out for a week. Well it wasn't the slave anyways but the point is that follow this tech article. The clutch spring broke off and had a party on my flywheel and pressure plate.
