wont go in gear saturday i go to get in my car and go to the carwash. i go to put in reverse and it wont go into gear. when i pushed my clutch pedal in it didnt come all the way back out it only came about halfway and i had the pull it the rest of the way with my foot. i set there and try it for a few minutes and i get into gear. when i get back from the car wash i check the fluid and its a little low so i add some fluid. after i added the fluid when i would pump the clutch pedal for a few minutes the pedal would come the rest of the way out. today i go to get in my car and it wont go into gear at all. i tried pumping the pedal again and nothing happens. it wont go into gear at all. when the car isn't started it will go into gear fine, but when i start my car it just dies. i havent had any trouble with car at all lately. i drove it friday and everything was just fine. sorry about the long post i just wanted to give yall all of the details.

Sounds like you have a bad master then.
If it is not leaking or lost fluid & is getting stuck you have issues.
Look in the manual trans FAQ in the stickys at the top of this section.
You can try to flush/bleed the system out & see if it cures your pedal woes.
But I would plan on getting a new master soon.

when was the last time you flushed your system with all new fluid? if its been a long time or you never have then your clutch could be sticking due to thick dark fluid in your MC. could be time to replace both master and slave cylinders

The slave cylinder is inside the clutch bellhousing with the throwout bearing on top of it in LSx cars.
