I have noticed a difference in my Nissan Maxima 2000. All of a sudden, today my clutch has been much looser than normally...For instance, when I press down on it to switch gears, it is much easier to push down (Almost too easy to press). My clutch has been replaced about 6 months ago so it is relatively new. I was wondering, is there a way to tighten the clutch? or something else? what should I do? My car does drive but the clutch just does not seem right.

Check your brake fluid in the resevoir to ensure it is at proper level. It could also have air in the lines so bleed the clutch once you check that the brake fluid is at proper level.
