Help!!! I'm stalling...

I have an 04 MT, bone stock, with 25k miles. last night while I was sitting at a stop light and I was waiting for the light to turn green.. I went to put the car in first and it stalls... the clutch was all the way to the floor. It does this randomly and I dont understand why? I know what your thinking maybe the clutch wasnt all the way to the floor but it definetely was... some one please help.

Could be air in your clutch hydraulics or your "brake" fluid is low. Check the fluid first, then bleed the clutch line. If you don't have the factory service manual, I can post the instructions for bleeding the line.

If none of that helps, take it in to a dealer and have it checked out. There have been some reports of clutch failures.

Edit: Another thing to check is the Starter Interlock Switch. In the meantime here's some info on the clutch hydraulics.
