When I started driving my car this morning the clutch pedal had resistance and operated fine. Around 15 miles later I lost any feeling of resistance in the clutch pedal. I pushed the pedal down and could not engage any gear or take it out of gear. The fluid in the resevour is full, I don't see any leaking from under the dash where the pedal is.

Hi leomoreno,

If the master cylinder fluid is full and there is no pressure, the master cylinder is faulty internally.
