Default Funky and sudden clutch pedal issue

So shifting between 2 and 3 yesterday something happened to my clutch. The pedal is now very soft (almost "springy") until the last inch or two of travel. In that last bit of travel it changes to a very springy feeling and doesn't seem to have as a hard a stop at the bottom.

Before it happened, the clutch had great feel and picked up nice and firmly with no slippage whatsoever, now it slips quite a bit under power.

The clutch still seems to grab at the same point in the travel but isn't quite as grabby.

That's funny. Read my clutch post from last week. I think I posted it on Wednesday.... Sounds similar.

Good luck!

When was the last time you bled the brake fluid?

Bled twice this year already. Bled the clutch once with suppa duppa blue.

Slave/master/line pressure issues should cause zero pressure and would show a sign of leaking.

Recall that the C2 from those years did not have a self-adjusting clutch (whereas the CS does).
