My clutch went soft one day kind of suddenly.
I did a flush and it solved my problem immediately.

I needed a new master cylinder to fix this when it happened to me. The pedal eventually just went to the floor with no resistance and the shifter wouldn't go into gear anymore. Cost me $387 to have the dealer fix it
