These C900s have a hydraulic clutch system, so it's not a cable. It could be anything from a hole in the flexible portion of the clutch hose (BTDT) to a seal failure in the master cylinder (BTDT) to a seal failure in the slave cylinder (BTDT, too)
Slave cylinder failure and the old hole in the clutch hose are usually sudden failures.
To help us diagnose what's wrong, check a few things:
- How much brake fluid is in the reservoir? (Clutch and brake hydraulics share the same fluid reservoir)
- Any large spots of brake fluid under the car? What are they directly under?
- Any hints of impending failure or unusual before it happened? Did you ever have to pump the pedal to get the clutch to disengage?
