Since I have gotten my Sentra I have had issues with it. This past year my thermostat went about 6 weeks ago. I noticed that when my car would idle the engine would rev.  
  
  
  
 Over the weekend I drove on the highway for 2 hours. When I started slowing the speed don I noticed that I could press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor without any resistance. It came back up. I rolled into the toll plaza and stopped to pay the toll at which point I could shift the shifter into a gear but the car would not catch. No movement. I think my clutch mechanism needs to be fully replaced as the car has 115000 miles with the original still intact.  
  
  
  
 IS that most likely the case and what am I looking at for the cost?

Is this a hydraulic clutch??

If it is…it sounds like either the master or slave cylinder needs replacing.

I didn’t think it was but after looking over the specs online it seems like it is. Thanks for your response!
