Clutch pedal issue

About a week ago I was driving and clutch got stuck halfway to the floor. I was able to pull it back up and continue driving. It hasn't had any issues since and has been driving normally. I probably did another 300 mi since this happened. I've checked the master cylinder and it is still full. I'm just assuming I caught some air in the line. The clutch line is bone dry on the outside.
  • Can I stop crossing my fingers every time I get in the car?
  • Should I replace all the parts of the system (slave/master cylinder/clutch line)?
  • If I do replace it where should I buy it (autozone, advanced, pep boys, napa, stealership) and how much will it cost all together?
  • Or should I just replace and rebleed the fluid?

dood serious, i had a hydraulic issue recently too... There's like 5 threads in the past month. Scary! Anyways, bleeding sounds like a good place to start. Also inspect for any leaks along the hydraulic line, and make sure the slave cyl is traveling the full distance.
