Default weird clutch pedal feel

This problem comes out goes; the clutch pedal wont feel the same. It feels normal most the time but other times maybe for a few miles it, the pedal will feel softer. The only other way I can describe the feeling is it feels more like a cable and not a hydraulic.

side notes

70k miles on clutch but hardly beat on.
boosted on 8 psi
never used for burn outs
launched once

your problem is not the clutch really is the pressure plate wich is what will give it the hard and soft feeling at times. 70k miles on that clutch is a lot specially when boosted.
Get a competition clutch kit ,Inline pro has a speciall going on on the competition clutch kit.

the master cylinder on these cars likes to start leaking sometimes too. Check and make sure u have enough fluid in there maybe its time for a fluch i had the same problem as you and it was cause i was low on fluid.

check with inlinepro and see if they still have the competition clutch special, clutch and flywheel for $700, pretty good deal.

on a different note, if the pedal feels weird get a friend to help you gravity bleed it. if it's still funky you may need to adjust the clutch pedal and take a little slack out, we had to do that on my buddy's S2 with a clutchmasters stage 3.

Since you have replaced you CMC recently, are you sure it's not just air in the lines? Have you tried bleeding it?
