Clutch delay valve?

[NJ Drive]

The reason I brought this up is because clutch engagement on my car varies, a lot. Sometimes it is a quick grab and go, other times it feels like there is at least twice the pedal travel until there is a clampload. I can almost swear something is altering the travel. This is occurring during brisk takeoffs, not drag racing. I will attempt a bleed to see if that helps at all.

If it helps with the problem please post it here so others with the same problem can get the benefit.

When I had a clutch car I bled the clutch slave once a year to prevent this sort of thing also to get fresh fluid near the seals to keep them from leaking. If the slave leaks you arent driving the car...
