    Took the 348 out for a run today and noticed that the clutch pedal seems easier to press than before.

    Everything else is operating normal but the clutch pedal appears to require less strength to press and I didn't work out my left leg :)

    Am I imagining things or is this possibly a sign of things to come?

    Had the clutch replaced in 2006 and looked at last year and it was still 90%.

    Any thoughts?

    When the fingers start breaking, the pedal feels lighter. Take off the little plate on the bottom of the housing and see if stuff falls out. Any good rebuilder can replace the spring.

    Don't see any fluids on the garage floor.

    I guess I'll take it in and have my mechanic take a look. I will drive it again this weekend and see if it's still the same.
