HELP! Clutch pedal feels "dead"...
HELP! Clutch pedal feels "dead"...
I went out to my car this morning and started it up to let it marm up a bit. When I left, I noticed my clutch pedal felt dead. I could push it in without any resistance all the way until the point of engagement. It makes it hard to drive. Still shifts and I don't notice any other problems while I'm driving, but it's got me worried. The clutch is not but maybe 10 months old. 
It is really cold today (like 15 degrees) so I was thinking that maybe that might have something to do with it. Please help!!! What do you guys think??...............

If it's possible to see the slave cylinder (the piston mounted on the transmission that pushes the lever that pushes the clutch plate), then I'd look at that while having a friend inside the car push on the clutch pedal repeatedly. If it's going through a good range of motion corresponding to the clutch pedal movement, it's probably okay (have your friend indicate his progress as he pushes the pedal). Oh, before doing this, check obvious things like the clutch fluid level and condition. You may need to bleed the system.
yeah, those are the basics and I was kind of hoping to get that sort of response...
It's really cold right now so I will check all that tommorrow cause I think it might warm up a bit. It's just funny how it happened when it got cold, all of the sudden, without warning.??
Fluid is okay. I will check the slave cylinder and hopefully it just needs a bleed. It's not an old clutch, though.
