Default Clutch problem on 93 Vette

I was just slowing down for a stoplight the other day, and stepped on the clutch and brake, an dI just instantly lost all pressure in the clutch peddle.
I had to start it in 1st and shift without the clutch to get home, and the clutch is just fine, I just lost the peddle. It doesn't stay on the floor, there is just very little resistance. Anyone have an idea what could be wrong? Thanks :seeya

Check your fluid level. Your slave cylinder may have gone out on you.

Check for fluid leaking at the clutch cylinder. If ok there check to see if you have fluid where rod goes into clutch master above the pedals.

Had the same problem on my 94. It was a bad slave cylinder. All the fluid leaked out.

Ya, I checked the fluid level, and it was empty. It's probably the slave cylinder. Does anyone know anything about changing one of these?

It's easy. Standard hydraulic connections. Just pull, replace, and bleed. Much easier than brakes because the run is short with lots of slope and only one connection. I did it on an RX-7.

It's just a little messy. (perhaps not since all your fluid is gone.)

Good luck!

Your best bet is to change the Clutch master cylinder, slave actuator, and hydraulic line as a set. The install is easy, bleeding the system can try your patience but it isn't difficult.
