Default Very weak , loose, soft clutch pedal.

Jeep was running fine yesterday, and this AM went for a short ride, and had a very spongy clutch, and before I got home,,,no clutch at all. any Ideas on the problem, or cost for a do it yourself fix.
kind of figure it to be either master cylinder, or slave cylinder. Dont see any leaks though

Any fluid leaking between the bell and engine? Sounds like a slave cylinder, or some other sort of a hydraulic leak in the clutch actuation system.

You can check the brake fluid res. Its tied in with the clutch fluid.

Well replaced the slave, witha bleeder and bled it, That wasnt it, so I got the clutch mater cylinder, and that wasnt it. I have no resistance on my clutch, Guess I need to drop the tranny and check the fork. I just dont see how that would slowly go out. This sucks. Any ideas..

I know this is old, but what ever happened? What was the problem?

Mine was low on brake fluid. The second time it was my clutch just before it completely shredded itself in my '08
