Hello Gents, fortunately I've never had to worry about this forum before. I searched and couldn't find anything about the issue I'm having. In my '88 with an M50D, the friction point of my clutch started changing. It always used to be more or less in the middle of the clutch stroke. As I was leaving the grocery store yesterday (yes, it is the grocery getter) I let off the clutch like normal but it engaged just barely off the floor - yes I killed the engine. Anyway, I pumped the clutch and everything seemed normal again. I drove to work today and sometimes it engaged normally, sometimes right next to the floor.
I checked the fluid - fine. I held the clutch in for several minutes to see if it was leaking down and it didn't seem to.
Any ideas? It's not that easy to drive a stick smoothly when you never know when the clutch is going to grab.
