clutch problems. cold weather to blame?
so its been real cold here the past couple of days (mid teens to 20s) and ive been having problems with my clutch. problem is that the clutch feels extremely soft until about 2 inches from the floor, then it will engage/disengage. at first i thought there was air in the system, but tonite it got worse. in order to make the clutch work properly, i had to "pump" the clutch 5 or more times. then it would grab higher off the floor but would only be good for about 2 shifts or 20 seconds, whatever came first. i was gonna try bleeding the system tomorrow, but after tonite, idk if thats the problem.

my car is kinda the same way untill it warms up, the clutch fluid gets so cold it like wants to stick, do you notice it after you drive and the car warms up or like a few miles it goes away?

yeah it was doing that for a few days and after 10 mins it would go away. now its worse though it stayed the whole time. im gonna try and check fluid lvl and for leaks tom. is the resevior for the fluid the one closest to the drivers side? (i saw 2 im pretty sure thats it)
