For the last week I've noticed that when i start my car in the morning my clutch petal is offering much less resistance than usual. After about 5 minutes of driving it is back to normal.

When I checked the clutch fluid it is full, but the iced tea color, which from reading other threads sounds like it's time to replace the fluid.

Does the above issue sound like a symptom of needing a fluid change or some other issue? Having a dealer check it out next week, any idea what clutch fluid change typically charges?

Thanks

 

dude ive had the same problem and this has been happeneing for about 2 years. ive told infiniti about the problem and they did say the fluid was dark and they changed it. it still happens occasionally more noticably in very hot weather when i start the car. im probably due to change the fluid again. infiniti really had no explaination for this. i actually really hate this problem because it make it so hard to drive the car.

 

Interesting that it's worse in hotter weather. I thought it would get worse for me when it gets colder out since the problem seems to go away once the car warms up.

Which dealer did you go to? I see your from NJ, I'm going to Flemington next week I'll let you know if they tell me anything.

 

when i had that stat happenimg to me my slave cylinder went bad and ghen 2 weeks later my master cylinder went bad leaving me stranded. so be carefull. since they have been replaced its been about 7k miles and my fluid is still clear.
