Clutch Pedal Gets Soft

[HyperGSX]

...when it is hot outside or I drive the car for an extended period of time. This occurs during normal driving and I baby it 99% of the time. Is this normal or should I be concerned. BTW, i changed Clutch/Master Cylinders 2k ago.

Does it especially happen after you take a hard left hand turn? Or does the clutch just stick to the floor sometimes? If so it is crankwalk. Other signs include a loud ticking noise coming from the head\block. If this is your problem it looks like a perfect time for a 6-bolt swap.

Where are you at in IL? I'm located in IL too.

you can't just go telling him that, you don't freakin know what you're talking about. there are ALOT of other things that could be the problem...

Yes I do and Yes I can. I had a 2nd gen that developed a bad case of crankwalk. I studied its effects and how the symptoms progressed as time went on. I didnt say that it is crank walk, i just pointed out some of the symptoms to warn him of upcoming danger. The sooner you take care of it the less chance you have of damaging other things on the car. The ticking for example is in fact caused by the crank "walking" so much that it actually hits the CAS and chips off pieces of plastic. It can eventually completely snap off the CAS, which we all know is not a good thing. I'm not at all saying that this is his problem, and I seriously hope that it doesnt happen to him (or any 7-bolt owner) but it is a very serious deal and should not be overlooked. Good luck and let us know how it turns out! But like chris said, dont get all sad and depressed and instantly jump to the conclusion that it is Crankwalk. It very well could be something else.

Fluids are all fine, bled clutch 2k ago. My clutch pedal does not stick to the ground and my motor is ticking any louder than what it is supposed to so i'm not scared that it is CW. I guess i'll just take the car to AMS once I get a chance and find out for sure.
