all of a sudden when i left work today...i noticed that my clutch was way easier to push in...and while i was driveing i almost stalled it because im not used to it being so easy to push....im sure this means its going out right? how long can i go before i have to replace it.....also would it be worth it to put an aftermarket clutch in...even though i do not take the car to the track or really get on it that much?

was it slipping at all? Could just be air in the lines if thats the case Id find out why (how the air got in there) replace the faulty part and bleed the clutch master cylinder system.

not in the tranny but in the clutch master cylinder Im sure thats what he meant to say. Its hte little resevoir next to the brake master cylinder and it uses brake fluid to push an piston like piece to push the clutch arm/lever which pushes hte throughout bearing against the fingers on the pressure plate which the relieves pressure off the clutch disc.

Try topping off the fluid. (as already stated) Do the revs climb immediately after a shift rather than matching the tranny first? Thats what will happen when your clutch is at the end of its life.
