Clutch Question (need help)

[CNTW84U]

I was driving down the interstate, went to shift gears only to find the pedal going to the floor with no pressure! Shut the
car off, checked all fluid levels, caps on tight. Turned the
car back on and the clutch works again. It still does not feel
the same. What's wrong??

Bob,

You may have water in your fluid. This would absorb heat quicker and cause the loss of the pedal. The clutch fluid acts similar to your brake fluid regarding heat. Hot brakes, Hot fluid - lose the pedal.

I would change the fluid and make sure you bleed the system properly or you will end up with a spongey pedal.

Do you use your clutch aggressively and often?

ceieio and SVS, I do have headers. The car has 4K miles
is 9 months old, never done this before. I will read up and learn how to change the fluid. Thanks for the advise.
