Either the master clutch cylinder or the clutch slave cylinder is gone.Check the level of the clutch fluid.Try filing it up with hydraulic fluid and pumping the pedal it to see where the leak is from.

Hi There.
there could be a few reasons for your clutch pedal going south,,
1, The clutch cable has snapped
2, The clutch release bearing has collapsed
3, The clutch pressure plate has collapsed
4, if you have a fluid operated clutch, you may need to bleed the system or replace the slave cylinder on the gear box,

Clutch and brake pedals go to floor

Check your brake fluid. If it is empty you have a leak somewhere. If it is full it sounds like you have a giant air bubble in your brake system. Bleed the brakes and the clutch slave cylinder.

I hauled a trailer about 40 miles and when I went to leave the clutch pedal went to the floor no resistance and wouldn't disengage clutch master cylinder has fluid throwout bearing has been making noi

It sounds like the throw out bearing separated. You will want to change the clutch and pressure plate when you replace the throw out bearing.

1996 nissan maxima clutch squeals pedal stuck to floor

Sound like you're going to need a whole new clutch assembly, but if the fluid level was dry you may have sucked air into the system which means that the clutch will have to be bled at the slave cylinder, just like you would brakes. The squealing sound is coming from the throw out bearing, usually when the do that it means that the bearing is frozen and cannot spin. Either way it looks like you'll be dropping the transmission to work on the clutch.

Clutch pedal straight to floor

If you put the trans in neutral and depress the clutch pedal it should still start.
The clutch is hydraulic, so there should be something connecting the pedal to the master cyl and the slave cyl to the clutch disk.

Clutch pedal was ok, 84 Ford F150 4x4 351 W w/4speed, then went to the floor?

Sounds like the slave cylinder went out. If it's inside the bell housing...do a complete clutch job while you are at it.
