96 Tacoma clutch

No point in replacing the clutch if its still good. The slave cylinder can easily be replaced, and with it the master cylinder should be done as well.

if it's the clutch hydraulics, you can usually pull the rubber boot on each cylinder and find fluid in the one that's leaking. Master and slave don't necessarily go or need to be replaced at the same time. These are not pull the engine repairs. I sold my '88 with over 200k miles on it and the original clutch.

Thank you for the response. I looked in the master reservoir and it looks to be pretty near empty, but not completely. Could this be my problem? Could I just fill with Type 3 and go about my business? I don't see any evidence of leaks so I wonder where it went. Would I have to bleed the system?

You most likely have a leak. To determine whether it is the master cylinder or slave cylinder look at each one and the leak should be obvious. For the master cylinder look under the dash were the linkage attaches to the master cylinder, if it is leaking you should be able to see fluid running down the firewall. The slave cylinder will leak at the rubber boot. You may have to pull the boot back to see the leak if it is not leaking real bad. You will have to bleed the system if it is opened or any parts are replaced.
