Also a quick cheap fix is to install a stainless clutch line. Its like $20-$30.
And put in DOT4 brake fluid.

I did this and my clutch feels much better than before!

However, my pedal never stuck to the floor. Almost did once when it was REALLY hot outside in traffic. Didn't take any chances and changed the line. Never going back to stock line....EVER

I do traffic every morning and night. At least 30-60 minutes one way. The stainless line is a must!

Bingo. Just go check first, cheapest thing is to re-bleed the slave, see whats the problem from there. Is

Is there dripping from the hose? If not its probably the slave, and that too is cheap to change.... but why buy something if all you need is to re'bleed your slave?

Sounds like overkill. This sounds like air got into your lines and a simple bleeding of the slave would have made it feel as good as new! But to each their own.

It isn't believe me. I bled it 3 times in 1.5 years. Either the fluid (DOT3) was getting dirty or contaminated very fast or the stock line just plainly sucks... I dunno.

But when I fix something, I like doing it once and doing it right.

Look at it this way:

1 hour labor ( I did it with help from a family member)
$30 for the line

No more problems

You can't beat that!
