Is my clutch going?

My clutch pedal feels real soft and doesnt stiffen up till its like half way pressed and sometimes even furthur down, and it engages with the clutch pedal nearly down to the floor when let up. Is my clutch going? Or could it be the throwout bearing?Do our cars need maintenance on clutch fluid?

thnx
Rory

Check the hydralics. Bleed the slave cylinder and put in new fluid. Check it then. If that doesn't work, adjust the clutch pedal per the FSM.

Not necessarily...
