Clutch fade/clatter

[SportinWood]

Just to start off with, I did a search and read all the other threads on this kind of stuff and it wasn't quite like mine. There's a loud clicking sound on cold mornings when my clutch is in and when i let it go it goes away and then is fine. Also I can drive my car in town all day long but when I drive it on the highway at about 3k(doin 70) in about 2 n a half hours it fades to the ground... then it comes back after sitting? My guess is the throw out bearing for the clicking and my clutch just needs to be replaced. It does slip a little on hard shifts into second at high rpms.
Any thoughts?? Some people say crankwalk but I'm not one to jump to such conclusions unless its for sure.

Anyone??

sounds like you need a new clutch

Turns out the fading was due to a harmonic inballance caused by my worn out motor mounts. Braided steel lines solved that. As for the noise, it was just -20 degree weather causing hell on my engine.

WTF?

Harmonic imbalance? Causing the clutch pedal to drop? Steel lines fixed a harmonic imbalance that was caused by the motor mounts?

no no no
"braided lines" which can flex solved the problem. The motor mounts are shot and the harmonic balancers are trying to work with it and it caused this bullshit to happen. The break on the steel line was a harmonic break. I took it into a shop. It's hard to explain but the braided line fixed it and I've had no problems since.
