Clutch pedal gets soft...
Recently i have noticed when i row thru the gears my clutch pedal gets soft. It seems like its closer to the floor. It still shifts normal but just feels softer than usual.
Can you guys give me some opinions?
I have the ls6 clutch kit. It has about 9k on it.
Thanks.

How many miles on the car?? Mine started feeling soft after I replaced the clutch/slave cyl, and it turned out I had a blown master cylinder. Noobie mistake, not replacing them both i guess. I had the new clutch and slave for about 3k miles, the master had about 90k on it at the time. Just one thought.

Can this damage anything if i make it overheat too many times?
Thanks.
