Default Clutch help

Hello everyone I recently just got my s back on the road after 6 months of sitting in the garage and I've noticed my clutch is really soft up top and catches close to the floor and sometime I have to pump the clutch multiple times for Otto go into gear. I tried adjusting the pedal but it didn't seem to help much at all. Anything else I should try? Or any idea what is causing this?

Are you low on clutch fluid? Either way, I bet you have air in the clutch lines.

You should always bleed the clutch thoroughly before adjusting the pedal. There's a DIY somewhere on the site if you're unsure of how to do it.

Had this issue a few weeks ago...clutch fluid was nasty. Do a bleed and it should cure the issue. Also peak behind the pedal and see if you're getting a leak from the mc. New fluid should fix this leak.
