Damn damn damn. Long embarassing story goes along with this, but aside from that, I was school strated the car, and the clutch pedal went to the floor.
I was able to somehow get the car home by just starting it in 1st gear engaged, then rev matching to go to the next gear.
Now I have the parts in hand to install a new Slave and master cylinder, but Im debating on doing it myself. Anyone ever replaced these before? Input?
I've done it it wasn't tricky for me, but I don't know your mechanical aptitude. ;-)
Read this it has good stuff about the process - http://www.miata.net/garage/slavecyl.html
Most likely the slave. Not hard at all. Read the link above.
I'm with sammm, slave, not difficult.
I thought this was a don't ask don't tell site?Quote:

I just replaced my slave two weeks ago. It's not too hard. I'd recommend putting the car on jacks and taking off the front right wheel. I had to go under the car to access the lower of the two bolts that attach the slave to the transmission housing.
Yeah the slave doesnt seem to be a problem for me, its the Clutch Master Im worried about. If Im gonna replace one, Im gonna replace the other.
Normally the slave fixes the problem at least it always has for me. YMMV
The master is WAY easier to replace than the slave. I replaced both on the 1990. You do need jackstands for the slave.
