Default Need Opinions On a Issue

I Have a 06 Tc,have a Act Clutch....Having a weird issue,Maybe Someone can point me in the right direction on my issue..

In the Mornings When i do a Cold start,let the car warm up for a bit,But i noticed,every time,the clutch engagement is near the bottom of the floor,But and i say but,as the car warms up after 15 mins or so,guess the Brake Fluid starts to warm up,The engagement Starts to come back up,But,not fully to where,its suppouse to be until the fans kick in...Now i find it weird,And it should be close to where,its suppouse to be no matter what...Im using Pennzoil dot 4 brake Fluid....Anything better then this ?

Is their any way of solving this issue ?

sounds to me that you need to bleed the system.

Yup, I agree with speed. I had a similar problem and it was resolved after I properly bleed the system. I turned out I had some air in the lines.

By using the bleeder valve on the clutch slave cylinder, right in front of the transmission when you pop the hood. You will have to top the reservoir off with fluid as you do this (on our car it is shared with the brake fluid reservoir). Use DOT 3 or DOT 4 only.

Search youtube on how this is done. Petty much the same thing on all cars with a manual transmission. I'd reccomend that you do the brake fluid at the same time since you'll be in there. Make sure the fluid reservoir never runs dry during the procedure, or you'll get air in the system and will have to start over. Keep it topped up.
