Clutch engagement point changes while driving

I'm curious, does anyone else's clutch engagement point change while driving? Like when I first get in the car it's at least an inch different than when it's warm and I've been driving for 15 minutes...and even on longer drives it'll seem to move around a bit. Sometimes it's an inch off the floor, sometime it feels like at least 4".

Any thoughts?

Yup. I blame the OEM slave cylinder.

Is there an upgrade? Or just deal with it? I really hate the clutch on this thing...

So I see there are some expensive and cheap aftermarket options. For throw out bearing/slave cylinder ..some adjustable, some not. Will any of these improve the clutch and make it more predictable? Any to stay away from?

I have not upgraded mine yet but a stainless braided clutch line is supposed to improve clutch feel. You can find them for less then $100 new.

This and new flush of brake fluid helps.

I have a stainless line and fresh fluid. Clutch is still ridiculously vague. Will and adjustable slave cylinder fix this? Or even a fixed aftermarket one?

Did the stainless line help with ANYTHING?

Yes, I can actually feel the engagement point now, however it still moves around and is rarely consistent. Have to either live with a jerky ride or wear the clutch faster

No other thoughts on this? Will a different slave fix the issue?

Related to the shared clutch/brake fluid reservoir?
