Hey hey.

I just had this happen to me yesterday AS I rolled into the parking lot after a 4+ hour drive to the beach. I'm taking it to the closest dealer, which is about 30 miles away. Anyone have any feedback on how far they've driven after this has happened? I do NOT want to have it towed.

(Identical issue...my clutch is 90% flacid. The engage point is about an in or so from the floor.)

Appreciate the help.

Have the dealer check for master or slave cylinder failure. Barring that, you've just experienced the dreaded hot weather mushly clutch phenomenon.

If the cylinders are fine, upgrading to a stainless steel clutch line and changing the fluid to some Motul RBF600 will do the trick.

The 350 has the same problem- it gets worse in the summer due to the ambient air temperature. The stock fluid ends up getting hot and eventually comes to a boil, both causing the clutch to lose pressure and ruining the fluid.

Good times.
