so i was drivin the ride around today and after a few stops at different place's i get back in and start it up and immidiatly knew something was different. i shifted to first and thats when i notice my clutch was loose/super easy when i pushed down for the first half of the pedals movement. :shock:

it feels like my step-dads old civic :smt009

it woked fine and i finished my stops and got home but i'm not happy with it

how long do i have on this clutch?

your clutch may be fine.. I'd first check to see if your slave cylinder is ok.. maybe leaking? When I first got my car, the pedal would never come up unless I pumped it.. the slave cyl. was heading on it's way out. Replaced it, also put on a braided line, bled the line and good as new!

lol.. if you look on the driveside firewall, you'll see a little cylinder filled with brake fluid. Behind the brake fluid reservoir.. that's the clutch cylinder reservoir. There's a cable attached to that.. follow it, and it should loop the a metal thing sitting on top of the transmission by the driver side. That's your clutch slave cylinder.

You'd bleed it the same way as you would your brakes ;)
