clutch feels really loose

i have had my 2001 vw jetta wolfburg edition for almost 2 months now and when i first got it the clutch felt stiff. now it feels like i can almost slam the pedal through the floor. i have no problems getting to any gear, but it still feels a little strange. i was wondering if any buddy knows whats might be the problem. and if it is my clutch should i invest in a racing clutch. i found a couple online for about $600

Could be a slave cyl or master cyl leaking air into the system. Is your brake fluid level staying the same? if it is than its most likely your clutch is going out.

what else should i look for if my clutch is going out? my brake fluid is staying at the same level, so i dont think that im loosing fluid. please help... first time manual trans owner, yes a newbie, a rookie, first day on the job,, or what every you want to call me. i need help :icon16:

Well after time the springs in the pressure plate for the clutch wears out and makes it real easy to press in. Problably need a new clutch. There about 900 and come with a flywheel for 1.8t

ill check on that. you said that it might cost about 900 for a proformance clutch, what do you think it might cost for labor. you have been nothin but help. much luv
veedub is the man

A factory clutch kit from vw is about 900. It comes with the clutch, pp, flywheel all assembled. Aftermarket clutches are just the clutch and pp no flywheel. I would recccomend using a clutch from a vr6 due to the larger and stronger clutch. You will need a vr6 flywheel also if u get the vr6 clutch.
