Clutch question/HELP?!?!?

So after enjoying my day out with the all the G homies..decided to go downtown...baam my clutch just drops down...is it my clutch or the master/slave cylinder?

Anyone know any shops open today?? I tried calling German and another shop in Irving that someone in the forum recommended but I'm guessing they're closed. It's my one and only driver so I'm really stressing plus I need ot have the G towed. FOK...

And yes..I did do searches on the forum...but all I can find is people talking about upgrades..and the only posssible indication is that the cylinder went out?? Any ideas/suggestons....PLLLLLLLLLLLLLEASE

Well I found fresh fluid leaking so I'm pretty sure it's the slave cyl that gave out since I believe that one is underneath; the master seems to be fine.

Props to my homies that have called/texted to offer their help.

Double props to German for taking the time to go open the shop so I could have the car towed str8t there and leave it inside so it wouldn't get jacked.

Update on my clutch situation...not good...tranny is gonna have to be dropped...(THANK GOD I didn't go to the dealer)...
***Throw out bearing and arm broke**** and caused the piston to shoot out of the slave cylinder..

Guys, any recommendations on a clutch/flywheel combo.???.I'm gonna suk it up with Ramen noodles for the next 6 mo. flywheel is ok but might as well get a new clutch since German is droppin the tranny; with my luck he get's it fixed and then stock clutch goes out.

And yes, I'm about to do a search for specials...

JD

JD didnt witness Sam's passing out, woken up to be thrown out in the balcony, and passing out again.

Thumbs up Update on da G..props to German

Well, German called me yesterday to let me know muh baby was ready....

I ended replacing the clutch since it was pretty worn out. Went with German's suggestion and had a Luk clutch installed (didn't want to go overboard with just a NA engine) and this is slightly a better material than the stock clutch.

Also, had the flywheel resurfaced, new clutch arm, and new slave cylinder.

I must say that I'm having to relearn the clutch...it's soft as butter but not mushy; feels like I'm driving a subaru now ..will be getting the steel braided line installed so I'll see if there is a difference.

So far, I def like the turnout and I have NO clutch shutter at all...no even when I turn it on..unlike even when it was new it still made some noise when starting/turning off the engine.

I must def give props to German...not only did he take time on Sunday to go open the shop to get the car inside (since I had it towed) and had it ready by Wed (even with ordering the parts). He followed up with me and even made sure I was coo with the parts he was using, etc.

I spent about $640 parts/flywheel resurfacing and roughly about $500 for the labor (a lot less than the stealership would have raped me with)
