Spongy Clutch
On the way to work this morning, after I shifted, the clutch pedal came about half way up, instead of returning to it's full up position.
The clutch did not seem to slip at all, but it was not a high-torque situation.
When I pushed the clutch pedal down, it would go about halfway before offering any resistance at all.
After about 2 minutes, the pedal returned to it's full up position and I didn't have any more trouble with it the rest of the way in.
I'm assuming that this is a hydraulic clutch so I may have fluid issues?
Is there anyting else I should be looking for?
edit: This is a 2003 with about 27,000 miles.

Interestind theory, but it wasn't cold. It was about 20 minutes into a 30 minute drive. I'm planning on looking into the master cylinder tomorrow.
Drove home tonight with no issues.

but the car sat overnight.sounds like you are sucking air.see if you have any brake fluid coming out of the clutch master inside the car.
