Default Clutch Pedal Loosens And Stiffens

I've noticed that sometimes when i'm driving my car my clutch pedal is pretty stiff to press down...Other times It'll be really loose to press down for example before i make a run at the track my pedal could be feeling fine....After
i make my run its shitty as hell really loose and it feels weird to enage. What could this be?

If I had to make a guess I would say master cylinder or slave cylinder is having problems. Bleed your line and see if that helps.

It definately sounds like a wandering air bubble. Bleed your line.

I don't know if air bubbles would make the pedal stiffer or looser. I'd say air bubbles would move the engagement point up & down unpredictably.

But if the fluid is cruddy or something like that? Maybe bleeding fresh fluid thru will fix it. It's an easy thing to try.

its not worth buying until you bleed your clutch system to see if the problem you are having is caused by air in the lines or poor fluid. just flush your clutch system with some new brake fluid, like valvoline synthetic (just use good fluid, not the $0.50/quart stuff). if this fixes the problem, then you don't have to spend however much those parts are going to cost you.

Not hard 2 bleed. as easy as bleedn ur brakes. I had a similar prob about a year ago where my clutch would feel ok, then after thrashing my car abit it would feel really stiff and shitty. Turns out my clutch was worn out.
