First Of all i would like to say hello to everyone and that this is my first thread. I have searched the these forums and could not find a thread related to my particular issue. My apologies if there is a thread on this already.

I recently acquired a 2000 Mazda B2500 Pickup truck extended cab. So far it has 36K+ miles on it and runs great. This is also my first manual 5-speed vehicle, so I am still learning quite a bit. Recently my clutch developed and interesting symptom that I cannot figure the causes to. When I first start my truck, the clutch feels sluggish, as in I begin to feel resistance in the pedal about half-way through. I also noticed that if wiggle the pedal up and down for a while the pedal goes back to normal(you can feel the resistance in the pedal as soon as you press down on it). Im aware that this is a hydraulic clutch and my dad and I have bled it once, its interesting that this has started when I began to experience other issues such as rough idle then the clutch and brake are both depressed. Either way I would like to see what anyone thinks about this and pitch some suggestions on this matter.

Thanks ahead of time
