Could be a problem with the hydraulics or something mechanical. The
fluid in the clutch cylinder should be bleed and changed as often as you
would for the brakes.

Subject: Clutch Need Adjust?

I've just started noticing that if I start my van when cold, in gear,
with
clutch engaged, that ther is a small jolt forward as if the clutch was
not fully
engaged.  Is this just a pedal throw adjustment, or more likely
something
with the hydraulics? Also, I was wondering if most of you flush & bleed
your
clutch system like we do routinely with our brakes.

THANKS
