Car was running, went away to school came back and car still runs but no clutch pedal all of a sudden.... got under the car the slave cylinder moves when clutch is pressed. moves about 1/2" it looks like. open slave cylinder there was fluid. couldnt see any obvious leaks... where could issue be from? press the clutch pedal and theres no resistance and it wont go into gear. any ideas would be wonderful thanks!

******edit, one week later: seems the slave cylinders are all the same, even though the auto part stores have different photos for different years or car models.. i bought the "wrong" one, which had a larger outer diameter, and it worked perfectly. Hi! situation: I'm in a bind, I had to leave my car in a parking lot somewhere, and i need to fix the car and drive it somewhere safe like, ASAP. QUESTION: does anyone one know if the turbo and non turbo slave cylinder are interchangeable and if not, why? here is the story: I have a 1983 280zx. a bit of a Frankenstein, with parts from different cars, rebuilt by the previous owner. i was driving today, and I ended up stalling twice while trying to leave a light. the third time I realized i had a hard time engaging first. I managed to limp to a parking lot and realized that I had no more clutch. I looked, and the clutch slave cylinder is dead. it puked all over the place. The car is in a restaurant parking lot, I had to leave it there, and it'll spend the overnight there (at least, hopefully not more). I pulled the slave out, and it looks like this I made a bunch of calls, and the local auto parts could get me within a day the NON TURBO slave, which I believe looks like this I'm wondering if there is a difference. since none of the places have it in stock, if I order it I can't return it.. also that means i'll have lost a day waiting for it. thanks
