If you havent done this in a while, bleed your clutch. I did and was amazed how much firmer feel I got. I located a very small leak where my line goes into the clutch master cylinder. My line isnt going in the straightest and the flair isnt setting as should. Im going to bend a new line soon. Anoth

Interesting, good tip!
I just use a piece of rubber tubing stuck into a hole in the top of a small jar, with other end of hose attached to bleeder nipple. I put 1" of fluid in jar covering hose tip so no air can get entrained and then use the gravity bleed on clutch.
Of course the jar & hose works on brakes too, for a 'one man bleeder'. For some reason the gravity bleed doesn't work on all systems, sometimes requiring the typical pumping through of fluid with pedal.
