Clutch grabs hard but sloppy play in the peddle

[nate95tsi]

Hello everybody,

Well I took the Talon out the other day after not being driven all winter and it fired up and ran great. However, I started to notice just how sloppy the clutch pedal is. The clutch was replaced before I got the car, and it grabs great at about 1" off the floor. The problem is that other est. 5" of play in the peddle, there is almost no tension at all right up until it grabs. One finger can push it all the way down to that 1" mark with pretty much no problems. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

sounds like a leaking master or slave cylinder, check the slave boot and master. What kind of clutch was put in it and how long was it ok for?

It was replaced with a factory clutch and has been in for 10k miles or so. Concerning the leaking master or slave, would there be a spot?
Thanks for the input!!
