Ever since it's gotten kind of cold around here, my clutch has been acting up. Recently, there would be no clutch pressure up top, but there was pressure down toward the bottom, and the engagement point was down low. If I pumped the pedal, it seemed to get better (build up pressure?). After driving for about 20 mins, it would get better.

However, today, I had no pressure at all. Pedal lies on the floor. I sat there for 20 mins pumping it, eventually got it driveable so I could get home, but I would have to pump the entire time to keep the pressure up. When I got back home and parked, I sat there for 10 seconds and pedal had lost all pressure.

Any help appreciated.

Is your fuid level low? If so possible that some air got into the system. Otherwise try the clutch adjustment FAQ above and see if that helps :dsm:
