nothing is covered under warranty at 114 k lol

does the clutch master have fluid?

if not, fill it and try to bleed it (at the slave)

if it bleeds and the pedal comes back, pull the dust boots off the master and slave and check for moisture, replace if its leaking

if the pedal doesnt come back check for large leaks under the boots and check the lines/hoses

if its full, check the linkages and pushrods, or the master might have gone bad (internally bypassed)

you probably have a leak in your clutch master cylinder, and therefore air has got in the line.

the cylindr has fluid at the lowest mark, there are no leaks around the car.

I guess i could try to top off the fluid level to see if that works.

I have warranty to 160 k bumper to bumper (extended warranty)

thanks for your input guy

Good advice from above.....checking for leaks etc.
Limp it to the Stealer, and put that warranty to work!!!

You didn't adjust your clutch position did you? I did this and it would go to the floor and was like I had a blown clutch because I over adjusted it.
