Hi, my clutch feels like it needs pumped up. It is mushy and having trouble putting it in gear.

This is almost always due to air in the system due to a leak.

Here are a few guides that will help with this:

If it were me, I would just get a clutch kit and replace the entire system as this is likely due to a slave cylinder leaking. So, if this is the case then when you go in and replace the slave, I would again, replace the entire clutch while you are there.

I am attaching the entire process from the manual on how to do this. Please run through this material and let us know what questions you have. Thanks
