I had a very similar situation within the last year. My wife and I were on a mountain drive and I started having problems with the clutch. I could not get it to disengage properly. Hard to shift. I thought I was going to have to get it towed.

When I got it home I flushed the old clutch fluid out and replaced it. That fixed it - everything was perfect.

Then I started seeing a leak of clutch fluid under the car. It was coming from the slave cylinder. I replaced that. Everything is perfect now.

Oh yeah, I found a small leak in the O-ring on the remote clutch fluid reservoir. I adjusted it a little with a wrench. Leak gone.

I don't know what kind of motor/clutch/trans you have. Mine is a 351 Windsor with a Tremec 3550. Slave cylinders for this are a common, cheap item at NAPA.

I will start changing the fluid regularly. I don't think it lasts long in these cars with the all the heat.
