Hello tanya...

I'm sorry it didn't make it more than a few weeks on you without having an issue... You might want to ask the person who you bought it from a couple questions about the condition you are having now, and if that's ever happened before. Don't imply if they KNEW anything about it before selling it to you, just try to get as much information as you can about what repairs they had done to it themselves while they were the owners of the car. You might find some useful information like "they replaced the master cylander, but not the slave at the time, because they were short on money".... and in that case, you'd have your most obvious problem part to replace....


...however, if they have no information to offer you, then bases on your description of the problem... "clutch pedal sits down by the floor and does not move" I would assume there is something wrong with the clutch hydraulics. This could be either the master or slave cylander... and i' highly doubt anything with the read brakes could be causing this.

If the car is un-driveable... you're basically at the mercy of whatever local shop you bring it to. I would suggest someone you know, or have gone to before, or someone that a friend knows or has gone to before...

...try to stay away from a dealership too if you want to save a couple $$$ on labor... they usually charge higher rates...

Your problem sounds like it will definatley not be an easy 10 minute fix, so not to alarm you or anything but be prepared to spend several hundred dollars, if you need to buy a replacement part and pay for labor charges...

Also, if you can try to get away with the minimal ammount of repairs now, but sometimes it's better to replace several things at once, while everything is taken apart, which saves you $$$ down the road in labor... ut that's only a good idea if you can afford it.

How many miles are on the 91 9k? is it turbo or non turbo? Good condition? Do you like it???
