Default Clutch Problems 94 GSR

Yesterday I got into my car and the clutch was alot easier to push then it had been before. I also have to push the clutch in all the way and it is getting harder to shift. Any ideas? Do I have a Hydrodralic clutch and I just need to add fluid, any help would be great. I do not have any slipping in the clutch by the way.

You have a hydraulic clutch, and it sounds like you may have air in the lines. Adding brake fluid to the clutch reservoir is only the start. You have to bleed the clutch to remove the air.

Is there any evidence of leaking anywhere? If so that's a little more serious. Look under the carpeting by the clutch pedal, sometimes it leaks where the shaft comes thru the firewall.

BUmp Mechanic looked at it and filled cluth fliud because it was empty, and the clutch works great. Still have to make sure that there is not any fluid just leaking but drove it around and had no problems. BUMP!!!
