Default Pedal drop

When I get into it and start to catch gears my clutch pedal goes to the floor When I depress the pedal again it get pressure back and works fine. Any ideas?

Do a search for drill- mod or for orificed feed. Still the peddle dropping to the floor begs for more research.

Keep looking. I had all the hydraulics replaced 3 time on my old car before I found out it was the pressure plate bending when it got hot. New clutch fixed the problem

If the Master hasn't been replaced this it may need to be. Of course a good flush and refill of the hydraulic fluid may do the trick too. I suggest trying this first. Use a Mighty-Van (vacuum aided bleeder) to help with the process and let us know if you see improvement. Thanks!
