I seem to be having some clutch issues with my car. Some background first. I had the clutch/slave cylinder/master cylinder all replaced about 2500 miles ago. I have never had an issue with my clutch/transmission or anything related ever before. Well, this morning I woke up and got in my car to go to the gym and noticed that my clutch pedal was sort of stuck mid way in its range of motion. Popped it up with my foot, depressed the pedal and started the car. As I begin my drive I notice that it takes a lot of force to get it to go into 1st gear as well as reverse. Also, it seems as though my clutch does not want to really engage until the pedal is almost hitting the floor. Like it needs more distance to go before going to full engage with the pedal. But of course I cannot because it hits the floor. I checked to see if maybe I was leaking any fluid from the master cylinder as well as the slave cylinder and did not notice an visible evidence. In any case, does anyone know what may be going on? It was kind of cold this morning if that has anything to do with it? Does the pedal need to be adjusted? Anyway, if someone could possibly point me in the right direction it would be great. :bigthumb:

you could try bleeding it or bypassing the clutch damper box
andd you might have to adjust your clutch pedal the FSM states how many inches the pedal should have for free play but idr off the top of my head
