I think my master slave cylinder or maybe CSC just went

Can you pop the clutch up with your toe / does it snap back all the way up?

Hell no with a stock clutch. Lol. But it's not an after market slave cylinder.

The clutch pedal will snap all the way up if I do it with my foot. But as soon as I push it, it will return equally as fast to the floor. Do you get what I'm saying?

No smells or delays. I drove it about 12 miles with no clutch keeping the car in 4th gear. No slippage or funky smells.

Towing it is going to be a bit of an ordeal since the car literally sits 3 inches off the ground. I'm looking more to gain insight on parts to buy for when I can finally get the chance to get it up on a lift.

The CSC is stock, not the clutch or the flywheel.

Yeah that's exactly what mine was doing. Very likely the CSC or a leak/blockage between the CSC and the fluid resevoir.

I'm with E/W though... If you can't get it to a mechanic, find a mechanic and bring him to the car.

OEM CSC is known to fail when paired with a pressure plate that requires more bearing load to release than the OEM pressure plate.
