Subject:Re: No Clutch....

Hi Ryan,

Sounds like a hydraulic problem. Could be a bad seal on the master
cylinder above the clutch pedal, a bad seal on the  slave cylinder on
top of the transmission, or a hole in the line between the two.

No resistance suggests that the fluid has leaked out... check the
driveway for traces of leakage to determine which end to start at.

Happy Trails,
