Hi there,

If no pedal pressure, check the clutch fluid level, if low you will have a leak at the master cyl or the slave cylinder, you may be able to get some pedal back by adding fluid , and cracking the bleeder with your foot on the clutch, close bleeder lift pedal and repeat, checking that fluid is not to low after each bleed, this should give you enough clutch to get to a mechanic to get it check over.

Suggested Repair

If the clutch pedal has no pressure, check the clutch fluid level. A low level indicates a leak at the master or slave cylinder. Add fluid and bleed the system by cracking the bleeder with the pedal down, closing it, lifting the pedal, and repeating while keeping the fluid topped up. This may restore enough clutch operation to reach a mechanic for inspection.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1991 Chevrolet Camaro RS with a 5.0 engine first reported a no-crank, no-start condition after a short trip and said replacing the neutral safety switch did not help. An expert suggested checking battery and starter connections, fusible links, and the ignition switch, and asked whether warning lights appeared with the key on. The owner then reported that the clutch pedal goes to the floor and the car will not shift, although it will start. A second expert advised checking the clutch fluid and bleeding a leaking master or slave cylinder enough to drive it to a shop.
