Default Clutch on floor

Crap. Going to the store to get some ice cream. Pull out of the garage no problem. Drive down the driveway and push in the clutch to stop at the road. The clutch just stays on the floor. Get out and look for any leaks. There are none and the master is still full. Put it in reverse and start it in gear and back to the garage. I think my master cylinder is gone? It is a toyota part and only one year old. I have a SC400 with a w58 swap and hydraulic throw out bearing. You guys think the same?

I don't have a slave cylinder. I have a hydraulic clutch, (hydraulic throw out bearing),.

Ha, good news. I had a chance to look at it this afternoon. The plunger had unscrewed from the bracket that mounts to the pedal. Easy fix.. I didn't think that a toyota part would fail that soon.

This also happened to me over the weekend. When I press the clutch down it sticks but i can pull it back up with my foot. Your saying if this is the case its the slave cylinder? I have a stock
W58. I see rock auto has a repair kit for 7 bucks, is this an easy fix?

When I read the title to this thread I immediately thought your Howe throwout had gone out on you (since I already knew you had a manual UZ). So many of those go out that I actually bought a Quarter Master and swapped mine out before the thing could fail on me.

Yea, I am aware of that and am going to get one and put it in over the winter if I get some time.
