Hey guys, I have a 1993 z32 that's been having some clutch issues. When I bought the car in December the last owner changed replaced the clutch the day I went to pick it up, and I've put no more than 2000 miles on it since.

Lately i've been noticing that my clutch starts sticking slightly after i've been driving around for 20+ minutes. The throwout bearing(?) also makes some funny noises if I hold the clutch in for too long while the car is just idling (10+ seconds) I've checked to make sure I still have fluid in the master cylinder and I do, so i'm not too sure on what else I should be looking for.

I just wanted to get some opinions from you guys before calling up driven authority and taking it into the shop. If anyone could give some insight on what could be going on, that would be great.

Try the bleeding procedure. Could have air in the lines that expands when the engine heats it up.
