i've seen problems like that before too and usually it's because of fluid or seals. check to see that the fluid lines aren't being passed by any exhaust pipes or anything overly hot. if it does it can carbonize the fluid and even vaporize it if it gets too hot. in either case the clutch movement is crappy. as for the seals being a potential problem... the only thing that fixes them is to replace them. i've never used any of the wonder products with any success. the few that show signs of improvement at the onset are nothing more than a bandaid and in the end just delay or even worse make the repair/replacement of a part more costly. most mechanics will say that either they don't know what is going on, that they don't believe you (it's sad but i've had mechanics tell me that they don't believe me), or that if you suggest a repair item that they will chomp at the bit to replace it and make a buck off of you even if it didn't need replacing... and if you are lucky enough... you find the mechanic who knows what he's doing... knows what's wrong and is straight forward with you and gets you what you need. i wish all mechanics were like that. good luck with the clutch problem... and better luck finding a good mechanic.
