Clutch to Floor

Had read elsewhere about this & had it happen today.
Clutch went to the floor & stayed there, a tiny bump from below & it springs back in place.

Had to clutchless shift a couple times, safer than reaching down to pop it back up.

Cause/fix?

That generally means the clutch slave cylinder has gone bad. To replace it, you have to drop the transmission so before doing that you might try a good flush of the clutch fluid, that sometimes helps.

Ugh, that's not what I wanted to hear. How had is the R&R of the slave?
Any tips on a fluid flush? Is there a bleed nipple to drain from?

I'm not much of a mechanic so I don't do the work myself, so I can't advise you on the specifics of how you do it.
There are a lot of folks on here who are quite good at working on their cars and hopefully one of them will chime in with the information.
