Default Soft Clutch Pedal

Hello everyone,

I am halfway through a 650 mile move from WI to TN and when I got off the interstate this evening my clutch pedal was extremely soft (almost no resistance) and it was very difficult to shift. I was having absolutely no problems until this last 200 mile stretch (I was in 5th so no shifting but did not notice any softness when I left the last gas station). After reading some posts, I checked the clutch fluid reservior, its full so no leak. I also sat in my blazer for about 5 mins pumping the clutch pedal. By pumping for a while it builds up pressure. Unfortunately, my repair manual is buried in the trailer. Any advice or ideas? I am hoping to make it the rest of the drive so a quick fix then a permanent fix would be the preferred option.

Thanks

you could still have a leak. Check the slave cylinder and the rear seal of the clutch master cylinder. If you con't find any leak, try bleeding the clutch system.
