It's an ATE.

That whole area was dry, and the line along the tunnel
actually looked brand new, so I'm pretty sure it's
been replaced at some point.

I'm going to try Bob's suggestion tonight, along with
Carver's solo bleeding technique. I hope that cures
it, but I'm doubtful because I thought there would be
at least SOME resistance at the pedal even if I did
everything wrong... I'll let you all know how it goes
late tonight.
