Default Inconsistent clutch engagement point.

Sometimes clutch engages at the bottom of the pedal travel, sometimes at the top.
It is difficult to drive because every time I have to try it carefully.

Did anyone experience similar problem? What could it be?

Same happens to me. I have not figures it out yet, but I believe its the slave cylinder. I noticed mine has a very very small leak and i think it may be allowing air into the system, which will give you the inconsistancies. Try bleeding the system and replace if neccessary.

my slave cylinder was replaced about 10k miles ago and everything was bled a month ago. No leaks anywhere. Could the problem still be with the slave even if its not leaking? or could something else be causing it?

When I had my ACT XTSS put it they told me the excess pressure could cause my master or slave cylinders to fail. You could start by looking at that.

My car still have tiny milage, so I took it to a dealer today and claim a warranty problem.
They spent about an hour with it and returned with the verdict "Not a problem". Also they said even if they could recreate the problem, they would not be able to do anything about it.
