Okay, turns out the fiasco the other day was due to the slave cylinder failing. $305 and a full day later the AAmco off Burnet had her fixed up. The only thing I don't like is the play on the clutch is now tight to loose instead of vis versa. It's going to take some getting used to.

Clutch (not just a great band)
So I'm driving to work this morning and my clutch pedal gets stuck to the floor. I used my foot to pull it back out and was able to get the car to shift in and out of gear a few more times. I managed to coast into the parking lot at work before the clutch just stopped engaging all together. The pedal now has no pressure and the resivior is bone dry. I topped the hydraulic fluid off hoping I could at least get it to go into gear long enough to get to the mechanic a few blocks away. No such luck. There is now a puddle of fluid under the passenger side of the engine, which makes me think it is the slave cylinder, or a leak at the end of the clutch line. Why does my awesome car seem to be falling apart piece by piece!?!
