86 4kq clutch

[Eric Henning]

Greetings All,

My sons 86 4000q clutch pedal has always been "weak"
(we;ve had the car about 1 yr)meaning the action was
all at the bottom.  Car shifted and drive well. 
Yesterday the clutch pedal dropped to the floor.  You
can manually work the pedal but there is no resistance
what so ever.  no apparent loss of fluid and no
appaerent leaks (no puddles and reserviour level
hasn't changed).  borrowed a pressure bleeder from a
friend and list member.  Flushed fluid was the color
of graphite.  Bleeding made no difference.

2 questions:

1) could i tbe clutch master/slave issues?  Plan on
replacing.  Any tips on doing the slave w/o removing
the engine or tranny?  how do you get the rollpin out?
 The factory manual and Haynes don't offer much help.

2)  As there appears to be no leakage, is there any
experience with other broke parts that would explain?

As he was close to home, I went over, but the 4000 in
gear, started and drove home fine (except for staying
in one or two gears as I was able to shift by speed
matching.

My 81 Porsche 928 had the release bearing break off
which caused similar problem.  The 928 has a nice
access plate which makes replacing hte clutch a
breeeze.  

Any thoughts would be apprciated.
