Twice in the past week after sitting at a light, I let out the clutch to go and the grab point was 1-2 inches closer to the floor than normal. It was very disconcerting because the clutch grabbed sooner than I'm used to and the truck 'leaped off the line', so to speak. I believe this happened both times when I held the clutch down for a minute or two, but my usual MO is to put it in neutral and pop the clutch while waiting. By the time I get to the next gear when this happens, the grab point is back to normal. What's the matter and how long do I have til it's stuck by the road?

One other thing I've noticed over the past 6 months or more is after being in neutral with the clutch engaged for a few minutes, sometimes it is harder to get into 1st or 2nd gear (2nd is my normal starting gear when not loaded).

Thanks for any advice,
