    So after lots of city driving or long road trips my clutch pedal becomes mushy and deadlike. Would this be because the clutch fluid is boiling over? Would a new clutch line help? I have a new clutch line already and new fluid I just don't know how to install it. So if those two things would help then I'll go ahead and try to get it done this weekend. Help?

    well, if you bring a 14mm socket with 6 in extension, 8mm combo wrench, 10mm combo wrench, and some needle nose pliers...we might could change it out infront of my garage.

    I would definitely suggest having a C-clamp to bleed the operating cylinder. That could be the main problem of your squishyness.

    actually its a known problem on the 99~01 MT 2.5L cars....theres a bulletin about it, has an updated part for the slave and clutch line. But the SS line should fix it by itself. Its all customer pay, not warranty.
