Default 2004 GTO, clutch pedal has little to no resistance

Out if nowhere my clutch pedal lost all tightness and pressure. It goes to the floor and now I can't change into any gears. But the thing is it does this. But then it will tighten back up. I don't understand it. I've been hearing a few different things things and the most I'm hearing is. To bleed the clutch line and refill while someone pumps the clutch. Is their any GTO experts out their???

i would start by changing your fluid. mine would stick after hard driving but regular fluid changes eliminated my problem.

Mine would do this as well if I got on it real hard for a minute. I just sucked the fluid out of the reservoir and filled it with new stuff, did that a few days in a row and now I never have the problem anymore.

Just do that every few months and it will keep the fluid fresh enough.

Obviously a full drain/fill/bleed would be best but you can do the reservoir fluid swap in about a minute each day for a week and your good.

Sounds like yours came out of the blue when the engine was cold though, that might be a bad slave
