Default Lost half of clutch pedel travel

Hi I was driving the hotherday and when my car got warm I lost half of my clutch pedal. I got it home(even though) I couldent shift to second and I tried bleeding it. I got the clutch pedal back but it's still weak and haven't got it warm yet. Does anyone know what it can be. There know fluid leaking any where.

Crawl under your dash, pull the floor mat back, and look to see if there is fluid leaking inside the car. It's probably a bad clutch master cylinder.

Ok cool but my resivor stays full. Do you think it can be my slave cylinder. It only seem to happen after it gets hot. But I'll check

Slaves are cheap like $12 and easy to replace. I would replace it just for piece of mind especially if your master isn’t leaking at all. As for it happening when it’s hot that would point to a slave or even possibly a clutch issue to me. My old 350z wouldn’t wanna shift for crap when it was hot, ended up being a bad slave.

Oh cool thanks and yeah it dosent leak but I also ordered a slave it was only 14 so not bad. The other thing you think it could be the rubber line since when it gets hot it could get weaker. Thanks for the help
