So....my clutch does this thing recently where it does not push up back against my foot. I can switch gears fine....i can start the car and its a little stiff getting into reverse, but it was never good at that. Basically, my clutch seems to be half the length it used to be. For the first half of letting off the clutch, it gives me a semi- normal amount of pressure, but the second half of it, it just pops up. So it seems like its only working half way.

For some reason, i had no clutch fluid the other day (or whatever its actually called). So i filled it. And i got a little bit of the pressure back, but like i said, it still doesnt seem to be working all the way. Ive been checking it for leaks, also, and it doesnt seem to have a leak on any of the hoses and has held the fluid i put in there.

IT still drives fine. Im almost convinced its driving better. Its cold where i am...but i dont think that would effect it too much....this is the first standard ive owned and i have no idea what to do with clutches.

Anybody know what may be going on? Maybe how to fix it? I really dont want to replace the whole clutch.

 

your lack of fluids the other day could have caused air to get into the system.

you sir, need to bleed your clutch. the clutch bleed line is located right by the engine code on the block, which looks similar to the bleeder valves on brakes.
