hard clutch pedal stickin low!!! hey guys, 01 ss with 55k miles. a few weeks ago i looked in my hydraulic res. to scope the fluid. well it looked grey and dirty compared to my uncles. i used a old windex bottle to suck 3/4 of the fluid out and replaced with new fluid drove for a few days and did it again. repeated 3 times now. not sure if i caused the clutch problem or if its on its way out/ need drill mod. last couple times ive gotten on it the pedal gets real hard and real low to the floor. last few days i got on it a couple times and seems that the car dosnt pull as hard as it use to. any suggestions? maybe i got some air in the lines? didnt have any trouble till i replaced the fluid. thanks in advance

Do you have headers?
Usually if the fluid is dark, its because its getting cooked because the hydrolic line is too close to the headers. I had this problem. I heat wrapped the hydrolic line and started running DOT 4 fluid instead of DOT 3 and I havent had any problems since.
