Ok what the hell is wrong with my clutch...
Sometimes my clutch will start to get kinda mushy and then after using it a few more times it will stick down. Not all the way but it has about 1" (literally) of travel then just stays there. Its a sporaditic problem and a subaru dealer and my personal mechanic (it wouldn't do it when I took it to him though) can't figure out what's wrong? Any help here guys?

The first guy to look at it bled it. I dunno I haven't looked for leaks. I would assume my mechanic would have found any.

There's no clutch cable or anything on your car, right? I know mustangs use a cable that tends to bind up in its sleeve... just ask Austin about his beefy left leg. Other than that, I'm a n00b when it comes to clutch issue diagnosis.... so I gots no help for ya.

Usually a loss of pedal firmness and travel is the master or slave cylinder leaking. My old Isuzu used to do that for a while sporadically, then one day the pedal went to the floor and stayed there. I had to replace the clutch master cylinder.

JC, maybe you should stop granny-shifting and not double clutching like you should.
