t44 clutch pedal weirdness

[Kneale Brownson]

You have CLUTCH MC or slave issues.  In another month or so, the pedal will
be all the way to the floor and you'll have to lift it up go get the
pumped-up circumstance.  Shortly after that, you won't be able to pump it
up any more.  

The "bomb" has nothing to do with your pump function.  The hydraulic oil
level has nothing to do with your clutch.  It's the BRAKE FLUID level that
might be low, starving your clutch for fluid.  The clutch master cylinder
gets its fluid from the brake reservoir.
