Clutch issues on my 96' max
So I got in my car this morning and went to turn it on and the clutch went right to the floor with only a very little bit of catch at the very bottom. I checked the clutch fluid and the entire reservoir was empty so I refilled it and that seemed to help some but it still wasn't acting like it should. After driving about 20 miles the clutch feels like its not engaging again and I am just barely able to shift the car with the clutch completely down. the clutch fluid reservoir is still full now so I can imagine what could be causing this... Any ideas what problem this could be?
Thanks in advance!

I had a very similiar problem, the main things to check for is the master and slave along with the clutch lines. I went ahead and changed all three since the master and slave would go out sooner or later and switched the clutch line to a SS then bled it. Clutch will go back to normal.

I had the same problem on my 96 SE, I took it to the mechanic to bleed it and he let air in the system. That's why i don't trust mechanics. It's very hard for the slave to go wrong, since it's very simple. But it like $30 and very simple to replace. the real problem was the master. It's like $60 in Pep Boy but it's tricky to replace since it's right behind the strut tower next to the brake master cylinder. A tight squeeze but you can do it yourself.
