When that happens the pedal gets soft and then engagement issues arise. I would check that your clutch pedal is adjusted properly to start with. Might follow Specialty Z's clutch adjustment procedure and start from there as a base line. Also would check to see if your clutch booster or attached hoses are not leaking air.
