this morning i went to start my car and i had no pressure on the clutch... the car would start but i couldnt get it to engage enough to put it into gear...i talked to some friends and they said its probably the master or slave cylinders...anybody have an idea how much these parts would cost to have replaced?
clutch questions

you may be low on clutch fluid
I had a similar situation. I went to my car one day and the clutch pedal had very little pressure and it was a b***h to get into gear so i checked the clutch fluid and it was low. i refilled it and it was back to normal
dot 3
DOT 3 brake fluid, found at any parts store.
The red outline is the clutch resivior.
If that is empty, fill it! If its full, your next step will be to look at the slave cyl. - you can try flushing the lines or replacing it. I did a quick search on Autozone's website and was quoted about $15 a Si slave cyl. - if you switch it out you will still need to flush the lines. It doesnt take a whole lot but you will need a friend inside the car to press on the clutch pedal.
The slave cyl. is located on the front of the transmission behind the radiator fan. I couldnt find a picture that would link to this post.

just fill the resivior with fluid, close the lid and pump the clutch a few time, check the fluid level again and add if needed, cap it again, start the car and try and put it in gear, if there is still an issue then start looking at your cylinders.. check slave first (front of the trans by the radiator), then master (on the floor behind the resivior/firewall)
