My clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor.

I can't get my car in gear , unless I really ram into gear.

I just parked the car.. I am assuming that this might be

the clutch hydrolics cylinder...? The seals may have gone bad ? I am hoping so, this would be a really economical fix.

Can someone lead me to a good diagram of the clutch cylinder and where it's located. The book I have has a

terrible diagram. Thanks !

If the pedal dropped all of a sudden it could be the cluth master cylinder or if it slowly wore down over time and you DON'T have a brand new clutch then the clutch could be gone (they don't last forever). Basically if you cranked 50 grand on the car, raced it around some - the clutch could be gone. The hydraulic master cylinders usually have a bleeder screw to bring the pedal up (if you changed out the transmission clutch recently). It's either located on the clutch master cylinder (near/around the reservoir) or at/around the slave cylinder. A small mirror may help in locating it if it is on the trans. .
