Default No clutch pressure?

In the past two weeks I have lost pressure twice, I went to shift into gear and the clutch pedal just stayed to the floor, after turning the car on and off a couple times and manually pulling up the pedal it works again, checked the brake fluid reservoir and its past max. What else could it be?

Sounds like your slave cylinder is about to die

Agreed - bleed it first and if that's not a fix, I'd look at replacing it.

Pull the slave out. If the boot is torn, wet with fluid, or the ball on the end is worn, replace it. If its visually OK, try lubing the end of it with a clutch grease, reinstalling, and bleeding all 4 brakes and then the clutch.

Other issues may be a sticking clutch fork, realease bearing or failing pressure plate. If the fork or release is sticking, you'll likely need a new transmission input shaft collar as well as the clutch kit.
