Cluch has a Lot of freeplay since today, I was shifting and the pedal hit the floor and didnt come back up. I pulled it up with my hand and it worked ok untill I got home. I drove it some more and the pedal stays on the floor every 10 times depressing it while shifting. I checked for spots to see if there was a leak and didnt see any, and the fluid is where its always been when I look in the Clutch master cylinder. Could this be air in the system? A bad master/slave cylinder? If it is a bad MC/SC do they sell rebuilt kits for them? thanks in advance.

check on the passenger side of the transmission, you need to get a good look at the slave cylinder. is there any fluid or wet ness around it or its boot? if there is you need to replace the slave cylinder.

if not then try bleeding the lines, use new fluid. bleed it ALOT. it takes awhile to get all the air bubbles out. go through a half/whole container of brake fluid (half liter bottle) and it should be bled enough.

if bleeding it doesnt fix it only thing left to try is replacing the slave cylinder, and then the master cylinder if all else fails.
