Ok lastnight i get into my 93 hatch and the clutch pedal is sitting on the floor board. It has no resistance and is just flopping around. Ive never messed with this aspect of 240s. I mean is there a separate master cylinder for the clutch or do the clutch and brakes share a master cylinder. And where the hell ismy clutch cable. I mean there is fluid in it. Im stuck please someone help me!!!

No clutch cable.

Slave cylinder is on transmission.Master is on firewall opposite side of clutch pedal pivot point..

1. Check your master cylinder resivor, is fluid missing?2. If fluid is missing do you see where it leak? How about under front floor matt on driver side?

probally blew your slave cylinder, sits on right hand side where fork sticks out of transmission. other possibilty is the master cylinder which sits directly in front of the driver under the hood. check fluid in master, the brake master is on the oposite side to the left. any fluid signs are symptoms of a leak. if any need to replace make sure u look up the "dampener delete" while your at it. order from pedal(master to the dampener loop to the slave)

It could be a master or slave cylinder but it could be anything. It's just as likely — probably more likely— that a section of line is corroded and ruptured. Refill te master cylinder and have someone else pump the cluth while you're underneath locating the leak.
