Default Clutch question and shop suggestion needed (Fort Worth, Texas)

The clutch is starting to engage closer and closer to the floor. I am suspecting it is not the clutch as I have 36k miles on it and I don't detect any slipping. Ideas?

Also, I am looking for a shop in the Fort Worth, TX area that is trust worthy and not extremely overpriced. I have talked with Speedtek but they are looking at 1-2weeks before they could even look at my car.

Thanks,

Graham

I recommend SNL in Ft. Worth. They do all my work. They also own Monster Clutch.

Thanks guys. I checked my clutch fluid and its a tad low and pretty black. Talked to Matt at SNL (they are actually VERY close to my house) and they are going to squeeze me in and check to see if I need it replaced. Its the orig fluid w/ 34k mi.

Matt's a cool guy and a hell of a tuner. Glad they are able to get you in and not too far from you.
