Hey all,
I searched and didn't find anyone with this particular problem.
Truck is a 99 Mazda B2500. 146k miles. Unsure if clutch assembly (slave, master, clutch assembly) has been replaced.
When I first leave my house, the clutch pressure is great, a nice full pedal. After driving for a bit (a few miles/several shifts), I lose about an inch or so of pedal travel, but I can still shift just find with no grinding or anything. However, the disengagement point does move a bit. But then again, after driving a bit further (a few miles/many shifts), the pedal pressure builds back up to normal and all is well again.
Sign of a master cylinder on its way out? I was thinking slave, but it doesn't make sense that it would build up the pressure again. I would think that it would just slowly lose pedal pressure all the way to the floor and couldn't be built back up again.
Anyways, just hoping for some thoughts before I start throwing a whole new clutch assembly at it, though it may need it anyways.
Thanks.
