sucks man. but are all of your hydraulics old? could be the problem. but if its your slave cylinder, you might as well replace the clutch as well

I would also suggest checking the hyraulics. That more likely is your issue than the clutch itself.
Check the fluid & check the master.

yea i would check the hydraulics too..what year is your car? especially if its a 98-00 the slave and master cylinder werent as good as the 01-02..on my 2000, the hydraulics went out before the clutch did...i replaced them with the 01-02 hydraulics and i went with an ls7 clutch while i had it apart since i figured my stock clutch didnt have too much left at 70k miles

up date i checked the fluid and it actucally really clean. It's not dark at all. I could pull the peddal up and down but there is no pressure. I guess I have to wait untill i tow it home befor I start ripping into it.

I'm guessing that it's the master cylinder, and it should only take some ramps to get that swapped out.
