My clutch/slave may be going out...
Hi gang,
When I do a little "spirited driving", my clutch pedal is fine when I start out, I shift to 2nd and the pedal free play come in at about 1/2 pedal and stays about the same for a short period of time and then slowly returns to normal. The normal free play is very minimal. I have flushed the clutch completely and no real change. Looking for some advice.
Thank you!

Replaced this several time so I can help but if you already bleed the clutch line then you may need t replace it..

Long read, skip down to 'What is drill mod?' and then ' Next step is to replace your clutch master cylinder'.
Drill mod works in most applications.
