Hey guys I've been having some problems lately with losing fluid so i went and bought a new clutch master (and am about to buy a new slave because it looks like some fluid is coming from there). Anyway I havn't fitted it yet.
If I was to boot it fast and change gears I would lose clutch pressure which was wierd (but could be because of the leak no doubt).

Now today I was driving to the gym and lost pedal pressure all together. It didn't stick to the floor it just became soft and springy and I could feel the engine vibrating through it and I couldn't change gears (had to stop put it in second and take off and get home in second!) When I was around the corner from home I felt the clutch and I had pressure again.

Is it possible that the clutch fork grabbed onto something on the engine maybe? Its very wierd I've never come across it before in any car.

Sounds like the spring clip on the thrust bearing may have dropped off. If thats the case its a matter of splitting motor and box. Put a new thrust bearing in and check the clutch plate while you are at it.

get the hydraulic side of things sorted 1st i recon, alot of work to drop the box

We have to drop the motor soon anyway to fix the head gasket (were thinking ej207) so once I've fixed the hydraulics I'll see if I can hold out a bit longer. Seems to be ok again aslong as the cars not being pushed to hard.

you don't have to remove the motor to do head gaskets if you don't want to.

i do head gaskets probley once a fortnight at least at work and it actually saves time and is not as hard as you would think

depends on if its a built motor or not, aftermarket headstuds would make it difficult
