Odds are the MC has gone south. Leaks internally past the seal so it
generates no pressure, which is why your foot goes to the floor. From
what I've been seeing, the best practice is to do all three at once --
master, slave, and flex hose. Otherwise, you spend all the time replacing
and bleeding it and then -- whammo! -- you're fixing something else.
Carl French had this to say:
>Ok, now that I know enough to be dangerous under and inside a car my

>clutch problem's that I had which were cured by replacing the flex line
>(and other things by the time I was done). But today when he was driving
>it around for work the clutch started it's normal thing of being slow to
>get into gear, increasing pedal pressure that would then go away,
>etc..Then all of the sudden during a phase of increased pedal pressure
>the pedal just went right to the floor with. He did not lose the line
>(no leaks noted and not full, but ok clutch fluid in the MC) he had the
