Help! Only have about 1-2" of clutch engagement... Hi all, here's the issue...
It's an LS1/T56 RX7 and has been perfect up until today. Parked the car last Friday, didn't drive it over the week, and drove to work today and now I've only got about an inch or two between the clutch being fully engaged and disengaged.
Car has a Wilwood 7/8" master cylinder, and a brand new LS7 clutch and a new slave cylinder as of January. Fluid level is unchanged and does not appear to be leaking (no wet spots on the carpet, under the MC or below the transmission). The first 3/4 only has spring resistance and not fluid resistance, if that makes sense...
Is my MC going? I really need to order parts asap so I don't end up stranded. Being in Spain sucks for this kind of stuff. All help appreciated!! I can provided more info if you'll tell me what you need.

So I think I might've boiled the fluid in the line and that's causing the weird pedal pressure. I think I can drive with it like this until I get the new fluid and MityVac in (I have no one who can help me work on it. :-/).
Anyone else boil their fluid and have similar issues?
