I have a 2007 sahara 2 door. Just replaced the clutch about a month ago. Driving home last night noticed that the pedal was starting to lose tension. Went to go to work this morning and the pedal went right to the floor had nothing at all. What could it be slave or master cylinder? someone help please

Sounds like something in the hydraulic system. Did you see any fluid under the rig after it went to the floor?

The master or slave would be the 1st place to look if you don't see any external leak.

If you don't see a leak try to bleed the system before throwing parts at it.

Couldnt check for fluid under it since it started raining last night and all day today. Checked around the slave today didnt see any signs of leakage. The fluid in the resovoir is not at the max point it is at the minimum line and possibly below. Hoping maybe it just needs to be bleed. Add some fluid and pump the pedal to see if comes back up? any other thoughts? Thanks

Definitely possible that you got some air in the system because the fluid level was low. Add some fluid and bleed the system. In order to bleed the system you will need to pump the pedal and open the bleeder on the salve.

Pretty much you will need two people to do this, one person pushes the pedal all the way to the ground and holds it, the other person opens the bleeder while attached to a bleeder bottle (a hose that fits tight on the nipple of the bleeder) then close the bleeder again. Once its closed have the person slowly bring the pedal back up and then push it down again. Once they are holding it on the ground again the other person opens the bleeder again. Watch the fluid as it travels through the hose and into the bottle you will likely see the air in the system come out. Repeat this process until you don't see anymore air coming out. At that point the pedal should be back to normal, assuming air was in the system.
