Master or slave cylinder. Check your floor, or the place where your clutch pedal goes through the firewall for leaking (brake) fluid. Thats what happened to my eclipse gst, after 50k miles, not ten.

Whats up!
Sorry to hear about your issues. You are F/I right? And I think you are S/C with headers too, right? If yes, then I know what your problem is.
Does the problem happen all the time, your just after you have been driving really hard? When it happens, does the symptom only last fow a brief period and then everything is normal again? If it only happens after a hard drive and the symptom goes away quickly, then I would guess your are boiling the hydraulic clutch fluid. With aftermarket headers, especially on an F/I car, it is really easy to boil the clutch fluid.
This happened to me at Tail of the Dragon. I have the Crawford headers (N/A) and I talked to Doug about it. He said this is really common. All the guys in the shop simply switched to Mutol 600 for the clutch fluid and no longer have a problem.
I just made the switch this weekend (to Ate Typ 200). If this sounds familiar, take the cheap and easy step of switching the hydraulic fluid first and see what happens. If this does not match your symptoms, sorry I cannot help.
