Well... if your clutch pedal feels a little soft or a little lifeless then you should check your fluids and master slave cyl. If that dont work then you need to think about a ne clutch. If your clutch does not slip then you shouldnt have to replace it.... and you would need to look elseware for the problem

In a somewhat related subject my clutch pedal has about 1.5 inches of freeplay before it starts to engage and has to be jammed to the floor before it will fully engage. I have a spare clutch slave cylinder and am wondering if I need any special tools to change the cylinder(this is for a 97 Eclipse RS, 420A engine, already tried adding fluid and bleeding)?

Well you need to replace your pressure plate i think. You might as well get an ACT 2100.

As for frog... thats what it was like when i had air in my system because the fluid level was too low. You need to check your fluid levels and bleed the system. Or if you wanna just check for air then take the cap off your fluid reservoir and pump the clutch and you should see bubbles comeing up
