Clutch acting funny this morning - WTF?
I parked my car outside overnight and when I got into the car this morning at about 11:45am the clutch gave me NO resistance until about the last 2" before the pedal touched the floor. I had the pedal all the way down and I still could not get the shifter into gear.
So I got the car rolling (it is a slight downhill, coming out of my driveway) and then with the clutch down, I was able to get it into gear. I drove it fine, getting in and out of gear, but the clutch still seems to be really mushy. I normally get resistance from the clutch pedal right away when I push it... but now I do not get any resistance until it is a few inches off the floor... I think it got better as I drove to work, but it is still mushy/fluffy... what's up???
BTW no leaks under the car so tranny fluid is all in there... didn't know what else to check at the time.

You guys are right... today I can hardly get into any gear!!! I am at work now and am afraid to drive it anywhere!! However I cannot bleed it right here at all. I think I might just have to try to take it to the dealership first thing when they open this morning and have them bleed the system for me.
I was afraid that the problem might be a master or slave cylinder, which all sound expensive to replace/fix.
Thanks for the input guys! I will let you know what it ended up being, hopefully by this afternoon.
