Just pulled up to a stop light, clutch pedal disengaged somehow, vlutch is engaged pedal just dropped to the floor, i can lift with my foot but no response from either position. Any ideas? Have this happen?

Rubber hose underneath car has ruptured. Or master or slave cylinder fail.

Rubber hose - BTDT.

Thanks, fingers crossed for the hose! Can i just replace with some clutch grade stock or am i going to have to replace with a specific hose?

Need Porsche part. Easy to replace - but depending on year it is pricey. I suppose you could have it rebuilt.

are you saying you had the clutch in , in gear.. the pedal is down to the floor and it still acting as if the clutch is pushed in, even though the pedal is floating up and down?
or are you saying, you pushed the clutch to the floor and it can be lifted up but the clutch cant be engaged?

specific hose has fittings like brake hoses....

Im saying i pulled up to a light, depressed the pedal and the clutch never disengaged, pedal went down and stayed down. Killed the car, i had to put it in first with it turned off then start the car with the clutch engaged to get it to my warehouse

Thanks

Clutch is engaged all the time now to clarify. Pedal up or down but tge pedal has no pressure so the hose makes sense

Hopefully, probably it is your clutch slave cylinder--easier to replace than the slave cylinder hose.

When mine did that it was the slave. Fluid pouring out of the bellhousing. Easy fix, replace and bleed with a motive powerbleeder.

before you buy a new hose I would suggest that you instead buy the line made by Greg Brown,
its a lifetime hose and does away with the funky routing of the hardline above the starter.

NOTE if the age of the hydraulics is more than 15 years,
I would also suggest that you replace,
the master ,
the slave,
and the flex line.

NOTE the gray line is the one from Greg Browns shop.

NOTE with this line fitted it easier to bleed the air from the system,
first gravity bleed the slave till the bubbles stop,
then holding the slave so any air will go out the line,
push the slave piston fully in ,
and and let it return to extended.
do this cycle about 5 times you should find you have good pedal
