Clutch wont disengage, but no apparent leakds from slave
So about a year ago I replaced my Master cylinder after is started leaking a bit, it would eventually leak out of fluid and the clutch would stop working.
Well today my clutch started feeling shitty and then completely stop working, but what is unusual is that the reservoir still has plenty of fluid in it and neither the slave nor the master seem to be leaking anyway (but I did notice the fluid is a bit dark).
So anyway, Is it possible or likely that the slave is bad even thoight it is not leaking? or is it something worse (like my throwout bearing for instance )

I replaced the slave, flushed it all out with new fluid, and it feels much better and evry different.
i think maybe my clutch as been slowly getting shitty for like the past year or two, i forgot what it felt like when it was working right, haha.

well before it wouldnt disengage until it was nearly on the floor
but now it disengages almost immediately (towards the upper part of the pedal stroke)
does that sound about right?

Well usually if a clutch is good it picks up more towards the bottom. But I have driven forever with them engaging and disengaging high. I'd just drive it till it slips. You mainly want to know it is fully engaged when the clutch is out. So you don't slip it.
You should be fine. I've never readjusted a hydralic clutch. Can you even adjust it? i don't remember any adjustment on it?
