I did a quick search and didn't find anything really helpful to my problem. I did a donut or 5 today and after I was done the clutch pedal won't pop out all the way and it seems to engage almost instantly when I let off of it a little instead of 1/4 off the pedal. It's not slipping nor is it creating any smoke. Still drives great and sounds the same. It is an old clutch though and I plan on replacing it soon, is there anything I can do to fix this or is there an underlying problem that I'm not catching? There's nothing blocking the pedal and I can pull the pedal all the way out to it's usual level but when I push it in, you can tell it doesn't start to disengage the clutch until an inch or two.

Thanks!

Edit; it's an '03 btw

More than likely, it's your clutch slave that's packed it in. Have you jacked the car up to examine it and check for leaks?

There are like 400 threads on this. Ever think of searching before asking?

were you in a controlled environment when you did said donuts? if not your an idiot.

if it were me, i would swap the fluid, and then if that doesn't work you might need a new slave at least

1.Replace Slave and Master.
2.Bleed System.
3.Good to go..

***The preventative option is to invest in heat shield material.
-Install it around the Master to Slave hose.
-Install around the exhaust manifold, heat shield material, to prevent the clutch fluid to overheat beyond its boiling point.
-If it is within your budget. Use a higher rating brake fluid (remember once your in DOT 5 and beyond you cannot mix with any other fluid.)

Hopefully the OP had this figured out by now, since the last response to this was in 2014. Good info for someone searching nonetheless even though there have been "400" other threads on this.

I thought the other threads were vague
Since I was in the issue myself
I decided to clarify why bleeding this system more feeneess than usual; with updated information
Also, I am developing a special tool to allow this system to be bleed with ease
