Default Massive Clutch Problems

I've been having problems with my clutch and I was pretty sure it was gonna go a while ago. But I constantly had to fill up my clutch reservior because I thought I had a leak in my clutch line and I would constantly lose pressure in my clutch. I put up with it for about 4 months and today it finally bit the dust. I tried to build the pressure in my clutch again by refilling the reservior and pumping the clutch but the clutch just sticks to the floor. There's NO pressure at all, it's impossible to build the pressure, I was thinking maybe it could be the slave cylinder, but I don't really know much about clutches. But if anyone has an idea on what it could be so I could have the slightest idea of what i'm talking about when i get it to a shop that'd be great. Also if you guys could include some prices i'd be looking at, I thought I had enough for a cool carbon fiber lip but looks like Exedy here I come

Its your master cylc, I had the same issue but I couldn't pump the clutch. Mine, went down and no pressure at all. Just got it fixed a couple of days ago, master cyclinder used will go for around 100 or so..... If you replace the master cycle and it's still doing it then its your slave cylinder. Like someone said on my post, our clutch system sucks.

i paid 380 for the clutch slave and master cylinder to be replaced, and now they said i need a new clutch, so whenever pops can scrape up the cash i'm gonna do a stage 2 clutch and a lightened flywheel, i think the price is gonna come out to like 1400 bucks, but oh well, i just want my car to go, and i just have to work my *** off to pay him back but it'll be worth it
