Apologies if this has been asked before.

My clutch pedal sunk to the floor and stayed there earlier tonight.
First the pedal lost a lot of travel but the clutch still disengaged,
and as I drove home it got worse and worse until finally it wouldn't
disengage at all.

Poking around under the hood there's a lot of brake fluid on the mounts
around the transmission and in that general location - that, to me,
says that somewhere I broke a fluid line in the clutch system. However,
wouldn't a broken line cause the clutch to stop working entirely all at
once? Wouldn't each press of the pedal just push more fluid out of the
hole instead of into the slave cylinder?

Also, as I filled up the reservoir, the level didn't go down at all. It
was completely dry when I took the cover off but it only swallowed a
few ml of fluid and didn't drop one bit. Wouldn't a broken line just
allow the fluid to pour straight out (therefore lowering the level in
the reservoir)?

Tomorrow I'm going to climb under and have a better look (poking around
at night with a tiny LED flashlight isn't too good), and if I can find
any obviously ruptured lines I'll assume I've found the problem. I'm
hoping it's just a broken line as we just had the transmission replaced
not 500km ago and I'll be really aggravated if the wrench munged
something up in the clutch while he was in there.

Thanks for any replies,

Isaac

ps. i should mention this is on a 94 Civic
