Default Clutch pedal sticking when hot outside!!HELP

Okay i have a 92 honda accord LX it has a hydrolic tranny and when the car sits and its hot out the clutch pedal grabs right when you let off the clutch trying to drive... it ONLY does this when its hot out... in winter its normal. What could this be??? all the fluids have been checked and changed (tranny, clutch cylinder) although the clutch cylinder reservoir looks empty everytime.. please help me..... oh forgot one more thing... if it does this and i drive it around for 10-15 mins it also goes right back to normal...

I have a similar problem, clutch engagment point changes wheather its hot, cold outside, and how long the car has been running, or how long it has been since the car was last driven.

All fluids have also been changed on mine, but my clutch cilinder is nice and full...

Sorry im no help, but yeah...

Sounds to me like your clutch master cylinder is shot. Especially if it's leaking. Look under the pedal, it can leak alongside the piston rod & soak in underneath the carpeting.

You might try changing fluid and bleeding your clutch real good so the fluid is all nice & fresh. But I bet that doesn't fix it permanently.

Hydraulic fluid changes when it is hot or cold out, when its hot it gets thin, and cold it gets thicker. I know this from working on C-17's for the AF. This is your answer- Bleed your clutch, if there is any air in the lines it creates moisture which mixes with the hyd. fluid and when it is cold out it makes the hyd. fluid slushy, and warm the fluid loosens up and flows more free, I hope you understand?
