Re: 2002 clutch...

Dave,

Does the car have the same set-up at the 320i? The E21's do this when the clutch or slave cylinder is starting to wear out. Are you
losing any brake fluid? Did you check the level recently? If the level is low it will do the same thing, but if it's low it's leaking
out some place?
