1990 clutch pedal no pressure and strait to floor

just wondering if these trucks run the hydraulic shifter shenanigans from the same reservoir as the power steering. the clutch pedal requires nearly zero pressure to push it to the floor and it wont go in gear. been having ps trouble lately and i was just curious to ask before i take a look tomorrow.

I don't quite understand that first part so I won't comment.
It sounds like you've got alot of air in the clutches hydraulic system. You should have a firm clutch pedal.

Your clutch master cylinder is on the left side of the engine bay in front of your clutch pedal.

Most likely it will be empty .

Something most likely has failed

They have two different reservoirs. I would suspect the clutch slave cylinder. Usually what fails from my experience. Check for air in the line.

As mentioned checked the clutch master cylinder reservoir.
the slave cylinder will be on the right side of your bell housing.

if life is good with that check your clutch pedal for cracks

Just curious what vehicle uses the power steering system combined with the clutch hydraulics? ? Never heard of that before...seems like a bad idea.

the miata from around the same year did. had something very similar happen to a friends miata several years ago and that was the issue. lost power steering from a really bad leak and within a few days it lost clutch as well.

i saw the sticky too btw. that will suck if that is the issue. i really hope its a simple track down the leak and add fluids fix. i hate working on cars in the cold and it wont get out of the 30s today...

Ok.
So go check your clutch master cylinder and see if it has any fluid.
