Funny you should ask! I bled the brakes last summer and had a hell of a time getting to the clutch, so skipped it. After brainstorming I figured maybe some air pockets were in the clutch line and heating up and then cooling down, quickly restoring the clutch feel. A buddy and I were going to reconnect the power bleeder, get the car up high, and bleed the clutch to see if this is the problem.
My brakes feel great and I didn't notice much, if any, air while bleeding them last summer and can't figure any air would have been trapped in the clutch line. MNBoxster--after reading your post though...because they are 2 different systems this could definitly be possible (air or water) in the clutch line. I'll try to flush this weekend and report back.
