Default clutch no workie!

On my way to work this morning my clutch pedal did not come back up all of the way. I was able to shift 2 or 3 more times, then the pedal completely stopped working. The pedal sticks to the floor now and even when you pull it up and push it back in it does nothing. I have to turn the car off put it in 1st and start the car to get it to move. I know my T/O bearing is shot as it has been making some noise the last few times I drove the car (even though it was replaced about 500 miles ago). I am going to get a new slave as well. Does anyone think that the master cylinder needs to be replaced also? I still have the stock clutch by the way.

I know you don't want to hear this, but it is probably time for new:
Clutch Housing
Pressure Plate
Disc
Flywheel (or resurface it)
Throw Out Bearing
Slave Cylinder
Master Cylinder

If you are gonna get in there, make sure that you only have to do it once for the next 15-30k miles. I am kicking myself for the time that I replaced the clutch and left stock hydraulics installed. The second time I put a clutch in I replaced the master and left the stock slave. Again a mistake. I have been living with the clutch sticking to the floor for about 2 years, and I am at my Whit's end with it!

Don't put yourself through that process more than you have to.
I would suggest looking into the RAM Powergrip series clutches. They are one of the better clutch manufacturers out there it seems. I have had stock, SPEC, Centerforce, and now RAM. Satisfied 100% with it.

Thanks orangeapeel. That is what I was afraid of.

Anytime. Just do it once. I have learned.
