    Wassup Taco Lovers!!!

    As the temperature here in NJ drops below 30 degrees, I have noticed my clutch pedal start off very "Mush" and return to normal after about 10 minutes of driving.

    Wondering if any of you out there with Manual Trans on a V6 is doing the same thing?

    I was thinking of swapping out the Clutch Fluid, currently Dot 3 to a Dot 4 to see if that changes any...

    Would love your feedback.

    Truck is a 2014 V6 with 6M...

    Thank you all for your feedback!!!!

    Chris

    My 2013 does the same thing at around -20c. In fact so does my wife's car, I think it's normal! Less noticeable if I use the remote start.

    I can't let the wife know
    I was wondering this. I live in socal and was up in north California for 3 nights. Tempetures were below 20 degrees. On the 3rd morning my clutch felt weird. I would press clutch pedal in and release it real quick. Pedal came up normal but the piston below the pedal would come up slower than usual. Having my clutch replaced 1000 miles ago, I was worried something was wrong. After 10 minutes of constantly pressing clutch and releasing it. It felt normal......glad to hear this is normal.
