Weird Clutch Pedal Behavior - Please Help/Advise

a possibility might be that you're clutch fluid over heated past it's boiling point and lost pressure. This can be cause by the fluid having too much moisture in it

a possibility might be that you're clutch fluid over heated past it's boiling point and lost pressure. This can be cause by the fluid having too much moisture in it (brake & clutch fluid both uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 which is moisture absorbent) and therefore reducing the boiling point. I'd recommend a clutch fluid flush and putting DOT 4 fluid in there since it's compatible with DOT 3 and has a higher boiling point.
