Default stock clutch problem-to the floor

On my way to track this afternoon for Trophy Bracket Race, and clutch went to the floor. I was having trouble getting it into any gear like the clutch wasn't disengaging from flywheel. At red light, I could pump the clutch and build up enough pressure to get into gear, but I had to do this at each light. Checked mc reservoir and it is full; however, fluid looks dark brown or black. What could be my problem and recommended fix (I'm assuming a hydraulic issue)?

sounds to me like your clutch slave cylinder is giving up on you. you will need to replace both the clutch master and slave.

you could try bleeding it first and putting some dot4 fluid in. that might temporarly help with the problem but will most likely not fix it permantly.

read the sticky-clutch pedal write up, its one of the stickys at the top of this section.
