yea basically
I would think that any one of those items going bad would make your clutch not work at all. With that being said I think it is unlikely that all three went bad at the same time (master cylinder, slave cylinder and a broken line). I would be willing to bet that it was just a broken line that caused all of this.
How did you come to the conclusion that the slave and master cylinders were bad?

This is what the shop told me... But instead of just replacing the one i did them all.. I would have to agree with you on it just being the line tho

WOW! And you never saw evidence of leak? No dripping fluid? Anyway, hoping you'll be able to repair that for reasonably low cost.
Re: "Bushing",
The closest thing I could think of is the thing (rubber?) that surrounds the master cylinder piston and seals between piston and inner wall of the master cylinder. When you step on pedal piston pressurizes the fluid in front of it. That pressure is transmitted to the clutch release cylinder, which in turn actuates the clutch release. The "bushing" can be replaced with a rebuild kit.
I posted a question about rebuilding or replacing. I hope someone can also answer that.

OK.... I have searched I have browsed I have looked high and low still can't figure this out. I have a 90 4runner that's been parked for a fair bit but run on occasion. I am trying to resurrect the beast but have been beating my head against a wall for days. The rundown: I parked it as it didn't suit my needs at the time. Started it and moved it through the last few years always at least running it around the block. one of the last times I moved it developed a coolant leak (turned out to be the hose running from block to heater core I think). But also the last few times I moved it I had more and more trouble getting it to shift. The very last time I moved it I could barely get disengage to shift. This time got in and couldn't get it to shift except grind reverse. It shifts fine for all but 5th and reverse when the engine is off and the pedal is not depressed. I figured ok I horse beat clutches a bit so ordered a new clutch Aisin. Figured well screw it I'm in there we will do clutch master and slave, rear main seal, throwout bearing, idle bearing?, and the flywheel. Got it all back together still won't disengage. Put the old clutch slave and master in as there were differences between old and new, also tried swapping the shoe that pins to the clutch pedal between old and new. (also tried new and old combos) It still won't disengage. Adjusted the master in both directions within comfort making sure it had threads still both old and new, and still won't disengage. Checked for cracks in the mount for the pedals, but none. I'm at a total loss. Did I miss a spacer behind the flywheel or something... The clutch fork I am pretty sure is ok. it seemed fine though I admit I didn't inspect it super well. I did try to pull it off too while I was in there and gave up trying to get it out. I really dont want to have to go to a shop, But I have no idea what else to do. Tonight I pinned down the clutch pedal hoping if there is by chance any air in the system it will burp out. Please help!!!!
