Default help and advise

hi all, I am new to this forum, hope Im posting in the right place:
I have an 86 corvette manual 4+3 trani, I parked the car for about 6 months, everything was working properly when I parked it, about two weeks ago I wanted to go for a little drive when I got in to start the car the clutch pedal went all the way to the floor no presure on it, I pump the pedal a few times to see if it would build some preasure but nothing so I gave up. any suggestions on what it might be or what I can do about it. Thanks in advance...

Sounds like you may have a fluid leak.

Check the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder.

You will probably find it empty and the rubber expanded in the cap.

Keep us updated! :thumbs:
