Hey, I was hoping someone could help me out.

For the last couple days my clutch has felt soft. I just had the clutch replaced probably a year or two ago, but have unlikely put more than 4-5k miles on it since then.

When i push in the clutch, not until half way down to i feel any pressure. It engages perfect, and there is not grinding or anything, but i can press it down with basically no effort until about half way to the floor, and then i get some feedback. Can anyone explain what this could be, or what i should do?

Thanks!

 

bleed the clutch fluid and clean the reservoir.

 

check the master and slave cylinders for leaks.

 

even the appearance of leaks in the master and slave cylinders can be fixed with by bleeding the clutch fluid and cleaning the reservoir.

i had an obvious leak in my master cylinder 3 years ago, and bleeding the clutch fixed the problem...have not had an issue since.

the mechanic that identified the leak would not bleed my clutch because he said it was a waste of time, that i had to change the master cylinder. i said i'd pay him to bleed the clutch, but he refused to.

well, i bled the clutch myself and obviously it fixed the problem, so try the bleed first before changing the cylinder due to an appearance of leaks.

 

thanks everyone!
