So my clutch went soft on me.....

So Saturday I am driving, nothing unusual and my clutch goes soft on me. Like I could press it down for a good 3-4 inches before I finally fekt any resistance. It was almost on the floor board before I felt any resistance. I was still able to shift, I didn't smell anything, I didn't hear any sounds. I was just pulling up to watch the Gatti-Mayweather fight when it happened. When I came back out about an hour later the clutch had resistance again, although it feels a tad softer than usual, it has resistance all through the travel like it should.

And unfortunately if it one thing the Wad is not is mechanically inclined.

So what the flock happened?

Am I losing my clutch?

Soft clutches lasting more than 4 hours (though rare), should seek mechanic attention immediately

Nothing in car talk.

Nothing but jokes over here.

You guys are a great help, thanks.

Don't what I would have done without you all.

Probably the fluid. Sounds like you have a leak somewhere.
