Default Clutch Question

I'm sure there are a lot of clutch questions on here, but I'm not sure if I'm paranoid or whats going on.

I used to drive the S as a dd until I got my Si this past January. The Si gets most of the driving time nowadays. Well this week I've been driving the S to work and I feel that the clutch has become a little soft. I don't feel the clutch slip at all when I engage it, but it seems that the first 2 inches or so of travel are softer than usual (easier to depress) and even towards the bottom feels lighter to me. Keep in mind I dont drive it as much as I used to but I just remember the pedal being much more firm than it seems now.

Btw I have a little over 72k miles.

Some SI have really tough pedal feels, mostly in 2DRS for some odd reason.

Maybe you just need to adjust to your S2 again or possible master/slave cylinder problem

Your car is 8 year old, how many times have you changed your clutch fluid? (There is a DIY up in the stickies) I change mine every 2 years, but I live in a VERY humid environment.

I replaced my fluid probably two years ago.

I am guessing it is either the master/slave cylinder since I went and checked my fluid level and noticed that my clutch fluid is very low...

Just curious, how much does a master/slave cylinder cost these days installed?
