Default Clutch Pedal just fell to the floor

So tonight it Finally stopped raining so i went to go take the accord for a nice ride out for a bit..i get in the car get my ipod situated and go to press the clutch in and BAM it fell to the floor. So i pop the hood and look in the resivoir and it was empty so i went into the garage and got some Honda brake fluid and filled it up and grabbed the clutch pedal to try to get some pressure and nothing. So i clean out the resivoir and as i cleaned it out there was little black peices of gunk. So i filled the tank back up and no fluid went down. Im either guessing its the slave or the line out of the resivoir is filled with gunk. Anyone have this happen to them.

I have a f22b non vtec. 96 accord.

ill update in the morning after i pull the line out.

why is this a stupid question? im assuming the black gunk might have been some kind of seal. transmissions are still pretty much a mystery to me so im not going to try to answer your question.

How is he going to find a leak if the fluid won't leave the reservoir? First he needs to figure that out, then he can start filling the system, bleeding it and checking for leaks.

Are you referring to the Pedal Pin? If so, there should be a cotter pin on one side, remove that and then slide the pin out the other side.

ok so its been 2 days since i ordered the parts so i decided to call honda. they said it (clutch pipe assembly) and i went there and picked it up. Came home and started the process of putting this pain in the *** line against the firewall. i had the tps,and some other connections undone and the ignition was on so i got the aem intake back on and had my fiance help me bleed the system and got the pedal nice and stiff and i went to crank it and NOTHING...it wouldnt start! so by this time im clueless..i ran my obd2 tester and nothing was reading. So i called Mikey (boostedcivicsir) and he had me go over some fuses. Sure enough i had blown the ECU fuse. So now the beast is alive again and im going to be working with mikey in the future on my next project. So thanks to Mikey hes the best over the phone tech in the world.
