Default Clutch gone or need clutch line?

Last week randomly, my clutch was very "loose" (normally stiff) and i could definitely tell something was off. I could still drive it around but everything felt different. I realized i probably need clutch fluid brake fluid or replace the clutch line? Yesterday I tried to drive it just to see and the clutch feels like it falls to the floor and does not allow me to put the car in gear. The car starts, but i cant get it into gear at all.

Did my clutch go out? Do i just need to replace clutch line? Thanks for the input!

Check to see if your clutch master cylinder reservoir is low. Sounds like something might have hit a line and caused a leak and got air in the line. Check under the car to see if there are any wet lines/leaks that you can see.

Low clutch fluid. very common with ths car.

It likely leaked out under the dash at the back of the master.

Clean out the master with paper towels till it's spotless, then fill it with brake fluid. you may me able to pump it back up, but you also may need to bleed it.

95% of s2k clutch masters leak from dirty fluid. keep the fluid clean, the leak will stop.
