August, same year, same thing and had it towed both times. They bled the system and said air was in the line. September, same year, same story, this time it is the fault of the DOT. I needed GTR DOT, which they put in. Worked again. Late October, started going soft again. Warranty had expired the week before. Sold the car.
That's literally how the first part of my story went exactly. "The clutch fluid was contaminated so we replaced the master cylinder" then it got softer over the next couple months until it went to the floor. It's pretty stiff now. Like stiff enough to were I have to get used to driving it again aha. I just need it to last a few more months. So I've been driving my other cars and taking it easy on this one. How'd you manage to sell the car with the soft clutch? Now if the CSC fails wouldn't the clutch be stuck to the ground permanently until it was replaced? I'm not sure how replacing the fluid would get it going again.
