I'm pretty sure I have a bad u joint on the s-10. What has me puzzled is yesterday I noticed when I push the clutch I don't get resistance till half way to the floor board. It usually gives resistance as soon as you touch it and gives me a work out. Think this is u joint related or I'm Gonna need a new clutch as well?

I don't think it has anything to do with the u-joint. Try bleeding the clutch.

Idk if its just an adjustment issue. It only just started last night and at the rate it's getting worse makes me think bigger problems :(. It is hydraulic though.

The level is good but its brown. Looks like motor oil in there. Don't know why it would be so brown.

Brake fluid attracts moisture, the brown is from corrosion in the system. I would bleed the system which should also flush it out.

Best place to bleed it from?
