Just started with a soft clutch problem. Would love to be able to fix this myself. Any suggestions?

Hi,

If the clutch has gotten easy to push, chances are on this vehicle it is related to the pressure plate failing. If the vehicle is original, everything is mechanical as far as the clutch is involved and nothing would be hydraulic.

Explain what is happening so I have a better idea. Also, let me know if you have inspected the linkage to make sure nothing is coming loose.

Take care,

Joe
