Clutch Not Engaging. Help please :(
I have a 2006 Nissan 350z Base with 76k miles. My Z has been sitting in the garage for about a month now. Finally decided to work on it because even though I'm storing it for the winter, I can't stand knowing that I can't drive it.
The Problem:
The last time I drove it, out of no where my clutch wouldn't go into gear. I can't get it into any gear when it's on, but when it's off, it goes into a few gears. I've never had any problems with this clutch before. When I bought it, I was told it had a stage 2 clutch. I looked at the clutch fluid and it shows that it has the correct amount. It does look a little dark, but I don't think it would cause my clutch to not engage. After I did a lot of reading about my problem, I believe I need to change either the master clutch cylinder, or the slave clutch cylinder. Would this fix my problem?
If that's the case, is there a detailed guide on how to replace both of them? Will I have to jack the car up? Or can you get away with replacing it another way? I'm asking this because my Z is sitting in my narrow garage.
I know i'm a noob when it comes to working on my Z, but I was told it doesn't take too long and it isn't very difficult. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I started it up in gear the other day and it started driving again. I pumped the clutch server all times before I started it. After driving it around, it started to become hard to change gears. Then when it comes to the point where it doesn't wanna go into gear whatsoever, I shut it off, then turn it back on in first and then it's good to go again for awhile. What would this be?
