Default 2006 GTO clutch randomly gone

Car only has 50k miles i just bought it...was sitting for 5 years but I have been driving it just fine for weeks.

Went outside to start it and wouldn't go into ANY gear and the clutch pedal was soft. This is strange considering it wasn't slipping and ran beautifully the night before.

Only thing I can think of is it got really cold last night did the fluid lines contract?

Going to try and drain, replace, and bleed the system in the morning...

Sounds like you might have a leak in the line, or the master OR slave cyl. has failed.

it's likely your slave cylinder seal. had this happen before. had a small, manageable leak, and one very cold night it vomited everything out. i am sure the seal contracted and make the leak much worse.

check your clutch reservoir level, it's probably dry.

It's not dry that's the strange thing.
