Default So am I a victim of the HR Clutch Slave Problem?

2007 - 96,xxx Miles, Outta the blue while driving now my damned clutch pedal doesn't wanna come back up but I'm not losing fluid anywhere at all - Reservoir is as full as it ever was (Max) but it is old and dark fluid.

Slave isn't covered by my warranty but the Master is - master looks just fine again, no leaks ANYWHERE.

So was it just a hot Texas day (100+) and the old fluid needs to be flushed or am I ?

Also for what it's worth, I still engage/disengage the clutch just fine.....but the pedal is on the floor and I have an inch or 2 of travel?

Just went down and checked.... I'm not leaking anything, anywhere - Clutch reservoir is Max (like it's always been)

Now I have no resistance at all 1/2 way down but I still engage/disengage the clutch just fine and the pedal "pops" back up after a delay? - Could it just be the spring on the pedal?!

Flushed the line with Motul 600, problem solved.

Had air and water in it somehow.
