Exclamation Clutch Problems...HELP!!!!!

I was driving yesterday and was coming up to a light so i was putting the clutch in and boom......pedal to the floor......

I dont know what the hell happened....the clutch was engaged and working because i tried to put the car into gear and it first would let me and then i got it in and it stalled out right away.....

I popped the hood and the cluth fluid resivour was below the min.....I am hoping the i just sucked some air into the system and I am going to try to bleed it out......

the only other things that i can think of is the clutch master cylinder went or the slave cylinder......

any help would be greatly appreciated......ANY THOUGHTS!!!!????

hey man, i had the same thing happen to my 03. it happend a year back when i had warranty, so i called roadside, they got me, brought it to dealer, and they told me my clutch lines had snapped. I told them the fluid was low, and that it was leaking when i pumped the clutch with my hands because it kept snapping back down. They said that didnt happen [ full bs] but i didnt compplain cus it was replaced under warranty. they gave me a new clutch with new lines.

unless you have the extended warranty, i dont see this being covered. see if you can talk to the dealer, if they can diagnose over the phone cus im sure theyve dealt with it before. Give me till tommrw, i will find the service receipt they gave me after they did the work, hopefully you can somethin with that?

no which is weird.....i put that slave cylinder in today and noticed that the fork for the throw out bearing what sitting really low and not lining up.....i think that my problem might go deeper than just a slave cylinder.....i am thinking of just replacing the clutch and pressure plate i dont no where else to go with this.....any suggestions on clutches?

I read another members post and he said that the clutch fork, pivot ball could be the problem also....the more and more i think about it, it makes complete sense.....if this happens to any of you, trust me it is a scary situaition just because of the sound that the car makes......its sounded like i was in Iraq at the time and I just got hit with a roadside bomb.....no joke....ive done two tours over there and I know what those sound like too!!!!
