Clutch just went soft...like no pressure at all, cant change gears or anything. what do i need to change??

Well because it went so suddenly, i would be guessing it slave cylinder or master cylinder. Check for leaking fluid.

exactly right....pump the clutch repeatedly then check for leaks.... hopefully its just the slave

if its leak, how do i fix it? since i cant move it...i cant take it to any mechanic.

when this happened to me it was the seal which burst inside the clutch slave cylinder

so how did you guys fixed it at the end?

If its your slave cylinder, and we havn't established if it is yet, then its a quite a simple job, undo 1 hydraulic fluid line & 2 bolts & off she comes. Installation of a new unit is the same process, just in reverse & you need to bleed the system.

The clutch slave is located in the front of the gearbox, check it for leaks.

It looks similar to this:

nice pic there bennoz, So im suppose to replace the whole thing? cause one of my friend told me just to unscrew a small 10mm bolt and bleed it to let some air out, would that work? and what does it really mean by bleeding it? to leak out all the fluid inside?

He means removing the any air from the line.

so i should just unscrew the whole bolt? then turn car on or leave it off to pump it? den bolt back on?. Sorry about the dumb questions, cause i havent done it before and just dont want to fuk up the car.

By the sounds of your mechanical knowledge, I'd have it towed to the nearest garage

This happened to me a few weeks ago, cost $30 to fix after getting it towed to friend's workshop for new slave cylinder.
