So I did some searching on here and found a little bit of info on the master cylinder which I think is the problem, but haven't found anyone with the same symptoms.
Last week my girlfriend called me and as she was pulling into her work her clutch was stuck to the floor when she shifted. She could pull it back up with her foot and use it. But it wouldn't spring back up. After work it worked fine so I just thought it was because it was cold out and didn't think anything of it. When she got home I it had pressure and I didn't notice any problem.
(edit: while writing this she just told me after she had the problem it would spring back up, and it had pressure but there was a crunching/popping feeling that she felt on her foot when using it [she said it's very hard to describe] it did it the whole time till this bigger problem)
Sunday she went to work and she was almost there her pedal went to the floor and wouldn't come back up again. She could pull it up with her foot again but there was no pressure to it. After a second push it got stuck to the floor and she couldn't pull it up unless she wiggled the shifter.
We got it towed to her parents house which luckily was less than 5 miles away. Me and my friend went there and picked it up, he drove it home for me so we could look at it at my garage. But the clutch still didn't have any pressure. We think it's the master cylinder. I ordered one today, will be in tomorrow (only place that had it was ford, no other place can even get a price or order it from there distributers). I was just wondering if we made the right assumption? Any ideas?
One more question, master cylinder was $63.45 and the slave is like $110. I was always told the slave would be cheaper then the master, is the slave cylinder integrated with something else?
Thanks in advance.
