Woody,

I recommend buying an automatic...  Hey, it's almost Friday!

All kidding aside, it could be the pressure plate.  Does it feel softer than
before (no Viagra jokes please)?

It also could be the hydraulics.  If you pump the clutch pedal does it
return to it's previous location (boy, I really could've given you Frydaye
people a line to work with on that one)?

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: clutch going?

Dear List,

Please remind of the symptoms of a clutch or cylinder about to go. I
have noticed in the last week that my clutch engages sooner than it used
to as I release the clutch pedal. Maybe 3 inches off the floor as
opposed to 5-6 previously ... What do you advise?

Thanks.
