Default gsr clutch question

my clutch all of a sudden today felt really soft and easy to push in. It used to engage all the way at the end, now it engages in the very middle. Anyone have similar problems like this? any help is appreciated.

side notes: i have been beating on the car a little more than usual, since i went to the track, etc. The car is stock besides sr intake.

How many miles does your current clutch have?

hmm, new clutch, my old clutch lasted me till about 135k (da), but i didn't really drive it too hard. I don't drive this car hard either, this weird problem just started happening today.

Stock clutches are easy to heat glaze from being rough on them, and will feel really weak afterwards. At 85k sounds like it's a good time for a new one anyways. Look at where you clutch pedal pumps into (master cylinder) also and make sure there is nothing leaking.

i think it is the master cylinder leaking because i just took another drive and it is just getting worse. The clutch pedal now almost doesn't engage at all, it has to be all the way to the floor touching the carpet. I am unsure where the reservoir is for the clutch fluid, but it must be leaking.

Can someone send me a picture of where the master cylinder for the clutch fluid is asap, i need to drive this car.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU RECOMMEND, THE CLUTCH IS FINE, IT IS THE MASTER CYLINDER, AND TAKE YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF N00B!
