Soft clutch

Hey guys,

My clutch seems to be getting "soft"? Not as grippy. It's fine, meaning, I don't feel any slippage, but the engagement isn't as strong...

Does that make sense?

Opinions?

From what I read, you don't adjust the clutch

What can I test, without removing the engine?

Thanks!

You might consider bleeding the system. I hate to suggest it, because reaching the clutch slave cylinder bleed screw is kind of a pain. At least it might be a cheap fix if it gives you back the pedal feel you've lost.

No; but you do need to bleed/flush the clutch hydraulics every two years when you do the brake hydraulics..............
