2005 Altima 3.5SE Manual Clutch problem

[TheKon]

So my clutch doesn't feel quite as firm as it once did. I understand we have a hydraulic clutch. Sometimes the clutch petal will have no resistance until the point where it disengages. Other times it feels fine. And sometimes it just feels really mushy and makes the car really hard to drive. I think I have an air bubble in the line, and I figured bleeding the clutch line will solve my problem, though I have no idea how to go about doing so. Can anyone offer me some guidance?

just put a new clutch in my car and gravity bleed the system but it sounds like slave clylinder problem maybe but try bleeding it first slave clylinder is only about $40

It could be an air bubble but usually only if the system (master cylinder, slave cylinder, lines) has been opened. I would lean toward a bad slave or master cylinder, or a worn clutch. If you have fewer than 80K miles and know how to drive, the clutch should not be worn out.
