Clutch to Floor

[JAMADOR]

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.

On the front of the tranny there is a bleed screw/nipple, there should be a yellow cap, typically you reverse bleed into the brake reservoir... use something like this to inject the fluid from the nipple
