Help?

I knwo this isn't for this part of the site, but my car is in a bad spot and i am unable to move it. Alright well did on my way home just as I pull in the driveway my clutch goes to the floor, and all the fluid comes out. I looked and found what happened? The plastic tube that goes from the clutch master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder came out. It blew out where it comes up to the clutch master cylinder. I see how it went it, but how do i put it back in there? I pushed it in but it comes back out. Did something brake? Thanks guys

Yeah, a dinky metal roll pin holds it in. Chances are the plastic that forms the tube for the roll pin failed. Be prepared for that to be cause of component replacement... if the roll pin alone failed, though, should be an easy fix.

Look at how it's attached to the slave cylinder. Same concept.

Can I just buy a roll pin? And if the plastic failed i need a new cylinder right?
