Exclamation Clutch Pedal Free Play...PLEASE HELP!!!

I have recently noticed that my clutch pedal has free play at the top of about an inch and a half. I recently replaced the brake fluid in the master cylinder. It
has just started to get cold where I live and I am wondering if that has something to do with it. Please help me I need some advice. Do I need to bleed the system or what...PLease Help.

Have you guys looked to see if you have a broken return spring? After I broke the second one I said the heck with it, and did not bother with another. The spring just keeps any freeplay feeling out of the pedal. Take off the pannel on the bottom of the dash and get a light and you may see a spring hanging in 2 pieces.

I looked at the spring today and everything looks ok. I did notice one day while driving when it was cold outside the spring sounded like it snapped but seems to be ok. Maybe I am just paranoid about my clutch. Thanks for the input...by the way it there a bleeder screw on the clutch line???
