my clutch pedal dropped to the floor too. pulled it up and still dropped to floor if stepped on. had to tow to dealer. clutch fluid is empty.
dealer say could be slave cylinder. i think something like that too. y would a clutch fluid be empty so fast and how can a clutch go out in under 2yr. i drive normal. no racing or peelouts or anything crazy driving. i got 23k on it.

so towed to the dealer and they diagnosed its the slave cylinder so it is under warranty. they had to wait next day to order that part as it is late. so the next day they call me and say in order to see if warranty covers it, they have to open and check the clutch that i dont abuse it to cause the problem. so they need my permission to check. and itll be $700 sumthing to replace if it is the clutch. also need add $140 for diagnosis and $20 a day for loaner car. if no abuse then everythgin will be covered. well i got no choice but to give them permission to check, if i dont then they cant warranty the slave cylinder problem.

so i gave the permission to check but im still worried if clutch could be messed up even tho i think the clutch is fine as i think im the best at driving manual. but luckily clutch aint, slave cylinder was the problem so its all covered.

now the clutch pedal is stiffer than when i got the car brand new, that i can remember of at the time, before was softer and i didnt realize til clutch dropped to the floor.

i suck at writing so hope u guys can understand my story of what i wrote.
