Well after my car sitting for around 5 days.. My clutch used to only have a few inches of play, nothing really serious. Now it has all play until you hit the floor. Clutch has to be fully at the floor to switch gears, or get 1st and such, then a millimeter off the floor your rolling away. It isn't slipping, clutch comes back up on it's own. But..... :wtf2: I didn't change anything while it was sitting so....yeah

might have a fluid leak, or air in the system. the clutch slave might have went too... or its on the way out.

First thing I checked was for fluid leak, also had the full amount of fluid, so if it's leaking, it's miniscule. I'll try bleeding later, but I don't see how it would just go from perfect working order to this while just sitting.

Bleed your clutch at both points, at the clutch slave by the transmission and under the hood on the passenger side.

well considering all ill put my money on a bad clutch slave or master! if it was sitting and the fluid level is good that means there is no air in the system. just like the brakes, you can pump it up sometimes to test...

Went to bleed the clutch, drainer broke from the slave... Bought a new one, tried to bleed and now the clutch has no pressure. Looking like master now. ugh
