On my way to work today, my clutch lost all pressure and I was unable to shift gears while my vehicle was running. I was stuck on the side of the highway. I first thought that is was just low fluids, but fluids are full. My other thoughts are master/slave cylinder or the pressure flange has cracked, but I'm not leaking any fluid. Could it be a block in the hose from the resivior to the cylinder? Thanks in advance for your help. Manual trans 08 sport 4x4. Any one have any suggestions?

No, it was still pushed outward, but there was no resistance anymore. So it I could press it, but there was not near enough pressure as is normal.
I posted this over on FRF as well. They said same thing happened to his truck. He said he thought it was the master, but it ended up being the slave.
i bet it was your salve cylinder cracked. my 94 did the exact same thing. it was my slave cylinder, get the one from autozone or advance auto cause they are made of billet aluminum for the housing, the stock is made of plastic and thats why it breaks
I work at a dealership and that's where it is now. They are going to look at it and let me know. I just hope it is something cheap/easy like the master or slave. Thanks for the quick responses.
Just heard from the shop, it's the slave. Part won't be here until tomorrow so truck's gonna sit here all night. Thanks again for everyone's help.
I already called down to the service dept to make sure they are getting an aluminum one and not the OEM plastic. Thanks for the heads up though.
Update: When they took the trans out to get the slave, they also looked at the clutch which is burnt up and down to the rivets. So that is being replaced as well.
