when i get in my car to start it and press the clutch pedal, it falls to the floor but after pumping it it will remain strong for a little bit until i go over around 70, then it will act as if i am just getting in the car, the clutch has been in this car since i put this motor in, which is about 20k miles, im not sure if the clutch is bad or if my CMS is goin out..... any thoughts?

make sure the slave is not leaking. I think its possible that when you leave you car parked for a while, it leaks so it relieves pressure. So when you pump the clutch it builds the pressure back up, but then starts leaking agian. Squeeze the boot on the slave, if there is liquid inside then your slave is leaking.

I think you should do this first since it is the cheapest and most probrable cause. (only 14 bucks or so) If no change your master.

I'd say the oem clutch should last for a while... it is supposed to accompany a "sports" car lol.
