had similar last year changed fluid and all has been well since

Do a fluid change on the clutch, matter of fact, do it on all the brakes as well. If the problem persists get with Skydoc 17 and do a clutch upgrade....

if that doesn't fix it may need new clutch spring and friction plates. Hour job and around $200 in parts if you do yourself

Had same problem with my 89 when i got it two weeks ago.

Flushed and filled with dot 4 synthetic.Been working great since then.

Po thought clutch was shot.

Not really, you can either bleed it the old fashion way or use a vacuum bleeder which is lots faster. If you have questions my # is in my profile

Get some aquarian tubing, stick over bleeder and into a container or you will get a soaked exhaust pipe.works best when it flows into a container partially fille, that way when you release handle it won't suck air back in.
