Ok, I actually started typing this last night but my computer decided to crap out on me. I also tried searching, but searching for anything clutch related brought up a crap ton of posts that had nothing to do with my problem.


So the contacting point for my clutch is almost on the floor now. I have no idea why it happened, I am truly stumped. I thought maybe the clutch fluid leaked out, but it's all in the resevoir. I checked the master cylinder, it seems fine. I checked the pedal to make sure it was connected to the master cylinder and it's fine. I haven't checked the slave cylinder as it's been raining for the last 2 days and I visually checked the hose and didn't see any fluid on it or anything.

But what could be the problem? Maybe air in the line? But how could air get in if nothing's leaking? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Check to make sure that the slave is contacting the fork properly.
Bleed the system, then see how it feels.
If it's better after you bled it, there's a leak somewhere. Air doesn't just appear, it has to be introduced.

Yeah, when it's finally dry out I'm gonna check the slave and I'll check to see if it's contacting the fork right. From what I looked at I didn't see any signs of a leak, that's why I had my doubts about air in the line, but if everything checks out I'll bleed it and I guess that'll tell me for sure if there's a leak.

Damn this car... hehe
