what would fluid level have to do with the clutch pedal?

Maybe your quadrant is flexing sometimes, but I don't see how that would make it that light.

clutch fluid in the slave cylinder would have a big effect on pedal feel

your pressure plate is really the only cause for that...time for a new clutch

so...its usually cheaper that way if you were in Florida I'd throw that puppy in for $100(you providing the clutch)
just get a stock replacement of if you want a spec Stage 1 clutch
you SHOULD get your flywheel resurfaced if not a new one
aluminum

Thanks for rubbing in the fact that you could/would change out my clutch for cheap when that's not something that could happen since i'm in texas. You can always take a trip to texas and put it on for $100... how much would i be looking at for the stage 1 and an aluminum fly?

aluminum

definitely one of the best mods I've done, except maybe 4.10s. Too bad they are ~$380, but it sure is nice.

soop7 · September 29th, 2008, 10:58 PM

What kind of difference will the aluminum fly make?

i have a new clutch and mine does this every now and then...so it might be your clutch but it might not be....mine only does it rarely tho...
