Clutch pedal sticks to the floor.Help!
Well it all started when I was on the highway and I did a 50mph roll with a turbo RX-7 and once I pulled about 2-3 cars on him I shifted to 4th then I let go but once I pressed the pedal to shift into 5th the pedal got stuck to the floor.So I pulled over to check the car and clutch fluid was all over the floor so I towed it back home.In the morning I tried bleeding it just to see what was wrong.So I told my bro to press the pedal while I was under the car and it leaked where the steel braided line connected to the slave so I was like ok the slave needs to be replaced so I did replace it it was a pain in the azz cuz I needed to drop the tranny and torque tube oh and the whole rear suspension with only two floor jacks.So I installed the new slave and I tried bleeding it but it still stays stuck to the floor it feels dead with no preassure.What do you think is wrong?do you think the master went out or I need to keep on bleeding this sucker oh by the way it is a 99 C5 corvette coupe 6spd.Thanks for looking hopefully someone can help

No see I replaced the slave.The line that connected to the slave was the one that was bad so I replaced the whole slave so that means I fixed the leak but what I dont get is that the pedal gets stuck to the floor even though I dont have a leak anymore but well if I do need to replace the master is it hard to do?

The master is easy to replace, pull the driver wheel, then the panel that is to the back of the wheel well. you will see the master on the firewall. unhook the quick connect on the hydraulic line, unhook the rod off of the clutch pedal under the dash, twist the master cylinder about 90 degrees, and its out.
