Clutch Need help

Well I have a problem that I cant really figure out. I am losing my clutch pedal when the engine gets hot. It almost feels as though it is a hydraulic clutch. Once I pump the pedal then I can get pedal back and it goes into gear. As you can see in my sig I have long tubes and have had clutch cable problems before. Is this related you think?

Strange.... Have you checked the routing of the cable in relation to the exaust? Loosing the clutch... do you mean when the car gets hot it won't disengauge so it won't go into gear unless you pump the pedal? What quadrant setup do you have?

an SN95 cable can help with stretching from heat (nice for LT's).

Waiting for more info to say more.

Good luck.

Yeah right now when the car gets hot I cant get the car to go into gear. The clutch is less than 500 miles new. The cable that I have now is routed almost directly on the exhaust. There wasnt any other way to route it though.
