So I left my s2k in the garage for a week w/o driving it and installed a strut bar during that weak... after that, I noticed that my clutch petal feels VERY soft and has no pressure for the first half of the clutch travel... if i was to pump the pedal constantly, the pressure would come back, then it goes away after sitting for the night... any idea whats wrong?

 

have you checked your clutch fluid?

 

yup, its full

 

You may have a leak in the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder. Get a flashlight and look in the foot well where the clutch pedal has a push rod going to the master cyl. Does the place where that push rod connects with the master cyl look moist and have gooey black gunk in there? If so, that's at least part of your problem.

Replacing the master cyl is easy with the right tools (you need a flair nut wrench...available at Sears). Takes about 30min.

The master cyl costs about $80-90.

 

You have brake/clutch fluid on the ground?

 

Thanks for the information people, I'm going to check for a leak tomorrow once there's more light outside. Now that I think about it, i drove a friends car that had a similiar problem (clutch felt the same) and he did end up changing either his master or slave clutch cylinders.
