I'll let you know soon. My 2000 is with David Weaver with the same problem. Fliud was almost empty, pedal went to the floor and nothing. Also strange was that my brake fluid was also close to empty.
thanks for the help, any word on yours yet roadkill?
when it first started feeling funny it would grab right on the floor and then after i made it a mile or so i had the pedal back. but now i got nothing.
You need a small hose to slip over the bleeder screw on the slave cylinder and run it into a catch bottle with some fluid in it so you won't get air in the system.
You need another person.
Fill the reservoir.
Have the person depress the clutch.
Loosen the bleeder screw and let some of the fluid out and quickly tighten the screw back.
Check your fluid level. Repeat until the fluid runs clear and no bubbles appear in the catch can.
You are probably still going to have to replace either the master cylinder or slave or both.
You are still a douche.

DING DING DING, We have a winner. The slave go bye bye. Look under the car and you should find a puddle, it may be small by this point, but should be there. If you fill and bleed the fluid, actuate the clutch multiple times after and look for said pouddle under bell housing. I have one in the shop of JOSHWARS that exhibited exactly what you describe and the slave is toast. If you fill and bleed, you may have just enough fluid to get you good and stuck, and if you have ever tried to stop the car with the clutch still engaged, you know it ain't easy so take no chances.

well i put some fluid in it and the pedal came back, drove around a little bit and put her back in the garage. there is a small pool of fluid forming so i guess i need the new slave.
is the ebay one for 149 what i should i get or is there an upgraded unit?
Tom is right. My car did the same exact thing about a month ago, dead slave cylinder was the root cause. I drove it one day, was only engaging near the floor, literally the next morning wouldn’t go into gear and pedal to the floor. Ended up with a small amount of fluid on the garage floor. Thanks Field Dodge for getting me fixed up.
BTW: My car is a 2002 with ~23k miles on it.

No upgraded unit available, if it is a mopar part there should be no problems and it will come with a new throw-out bearing as well. If you have even a slight question as to your clutch life, replace it while the trans is out for the slave.
