whats goin on with my clutch
while i was driving my car today, i pushed the clutch in to shift gears, and the pedel went straight to the floor and stayed there. i coasted over, and reached down and pulled it up and everything worked fine from there on out. doesnt grind, doesnt make any noise or feel funny, and this isnt the first time its happened. am i just needing a bleed? or is there something else coming into play

Before you replace the slave I would look at the master and make sure you're not leaking fluid from the gasket at the top of the pedal. Check your resevoir to see if you have enough fluid as well. If your gasket looks like crap or you can see fluid, then the master is the problem, otherwise I'd say its the slave.

everythings clean and topped off. i check my fluids atleast once a week. and nothings leaking. ill try bleeding it, and then look at the slave if it ever happens again.

don't just bleed them
bleed them while adding fresh fluid as you bleed until you have replaced all the old fluid with new
on the bleed screw on the slave cylinder attach a small clear hose running to a old 2 letter or something so you can see the bubbles and fresh fluid.
and yes you will be able to notice when you hit fresh fluid.
