spongy clutch peddle???

in my 2000 trans am ws6, sometimes the clutch peddle feels real spongy..like alot of give in it, and if i shift quickly throught the gears the peddle will like almost stick to the floor for a second before shooting back up..car only has 34000 miles on it..im thinking maybe bleed the system out, maybe air is in the lines??? any opinions?

the slave cylinder is located on the drivers side of tranny where the motor and tranny hook together be sure to retighten line after gravity bleed before pumping petel if your unit has bleeder it will be on the slave cyl. hope it works

Re: spongy clutch peddle???

hey guys ive been meaning to write back..my clutch peddle still feels real loose at times...i had my car up in the air a few days ago looking from where to bleed the clutch line out of, and wasnt sure if i was in the right spot..is it the steel braided line on the driver side of the tranny? you pull it out and let it bleed? or what? i wasnt sure so i didnt attemp anything..
