Alrighty guys, I got a question.

My clutch pedal seems to have very little pressure at times. Everything still works normal and no problems really.

its like when I am in the city driving or when I first start up my car the clutch does not have much presssure. But my drive to and from home, which is on a highway for about 15-20 minutes, the clutch gets to normal pressure which is kind of stiff ( and is how i like it). when I get back into the city or what not, stop and go traffic, the clutch goes back to not having much pressure sometimes.

What exactly could be going on... any ideas?

thanks you for your time

There could be a leak in your clutch lines. This sounds like your scenario, you first drive your car and you notice not much pressure in your pedal. Then after pumping it a few times while driving, you'll notice it feels normal; that's because you're building up pressure. You get what I'm saying? Have you recently monitored the fluid level in the reservoir on your clutch master cylinder?

If you got some money you can get a slave cylinder and get a stainless steel clutchline. Removing the clutch dampner box will make it easier to bleed your clutch as well. So far I bought SS line for about $34, slave cylinder for $18, and $7 for some lock tight and brake fluid. $60 for clutch stuff that will go in by tomorrow I hope. I'll let you know how it goes.
