Default Brake Master Fluid Emergency!!!

kind of like overnight my clutch went from firm to soft and stalling out at a lower point to the floor.

i haven't been burning clutch. well i checked the clutch master resevoir thing and it is empty.

so would that be the issue or is my clutch out???

it was perfectly fine 2 days ago....

what kind of oil should i pick up and to where do i fill it up???

no leak... that i am aware of... there's no leaks on my driveway....

this is my first stick car too by the way...

The "step" is inside the reservoir. You can see it when you look inside it. Use DOT 4 brake fluid to fill it. You're going to need to bleed the system also...

yes hope that the slave cylinder dident crap out on you, but you can try first by filling it up with some good brake fluid DOT 3 or 4 witch ever one (DOT 4 is the better choice) and then you have to get under the car to bleed the system so all the air is purged
