2017 SS Manual Clutch Pedal Pressure

I started noticing the clutch pedal was getting softer and shifts were getting more abrupt.

I can push the clutch pedal down nearly 2/3 of the travel with no pressure and all the pressure is now in the last 1/3 of travel. (When the clutch is engaged it doesn't slip.)

Are these the symptoms of a failed / failing master cylinder or could this be caused by dirty / burned up clutch / brake fluid? I hate that they shared the two systems.

Sounds like you are losing fluid.

Late reply, yeah we couldn't find where, but there is a tiny leak somewhere which means I need to keep an eye on my brake / clutch reservoir every oil change. The combined reservoirs was a poor design choice.

Mine is also a 17 SS manual. No issue with mine, but let us know where you find the leak in case we one day experience the same issue. How many miles on your car?
