Cluch has a Lot of freeplay since today, I was shifting and the pedal hit the floor and didnt come back up. I pulled it up with my hand and it worked ok untill I got home. I drove it some more and the pedal stays on the floor every 10 times depressing it while shifting. I checked for spots to see if there was a leak and didnt see any, and the fluid is where its always been when I look in the Clutch master cylinder. Could this be air in the system? A bad master/slave cylinder? If it is a bad MC/SC do they sell rebuilt kits for them? thanks in advance. Also could it be the clutch spring?

Slave giving out, time to replace it and have a tight clutch.

Leak in the system.

Dont futz with it, replace the slave and bleed. Master is a parallel line. Look for leaks, replace CMC and SC and you are in biz.
