Default clutch question

i tried to search through the forum to find similar symptoms but i got mixed results. just wondering if someone could help me decipher...

my clutch seems to be engaging further to the ground, i recall it engaging higher in the past and also being stiffer. i haven't experienced any slips and i'm definately not hard on my clutch. its my00 with just over 60k. i haven't had any issues so far.

i thought it was because the fluid was a tad low, but that wasn't it.

help?

The obvious first thing to try is to bleed the system. Flush the fluid completely while you are at it.

A hydraulic line aneurism. Partial failure of the pressure plate diaphragm.

I haven't heard of either happening on an S2000.

I have the same problem. Is your clutch pedal loose too like mine? I was told my clutch hydraulic cylinder is leaking air/oil. Cylinder needs to be replaced.
