[V8] Clutch pedal goes to the floor

[MendezWerks]

On my 3.6 there was a leaky master cylinder, not very pleasant.  
Replaced it, and it gas been fine ever since. Now I have the car up  
for sale.
Now, as far as my 4.2, I did manage remove the slave without much  
drama, and am now waiting for the replacement part to arrive. I scored  
a new after market slave cylinder for $60.00. I can't wait to get if  
back on the road for the summer.
