Default Clutch pedal falls to the ground...

I just got done doing a 3hr road trip. I was on the highway at cruising speeds and my clutch pedal decides to drop 50% of the way down.

The EXTRA 50% engages the clutch like it was normal, but sitting lower? I had to pull the pedal back up with my toe to fix it and now its normal? I do notice my clutch reservoir is a LITTLE low but not below the minimum mark.

What are the possibilities my slave cylinder might be out?

BTW, I have an Exedy Organic Street clutch combo.

Happy Thanksgiving,

migs

Yep, sounds like you have air in your line. You can gravity-bleed the clutch pretty effectively, and you don't even need a friend to help.

Same thing happened to me, my mc took a dump on me. You can bleed it but it's not going to fix the problem and probably dangerous driving around like that. Don't just bleed it, check your mc and slave cylinder, sh$t like this happen for a reason. It's not like a frickin bubble fairy flying around making air bubbles appear in your clutch lines.
