Every time it gets cold out my clutch stops working right. The pedal gets a lot of slack and will not disengage the clutch. I have to start it in gear and it will not shift right. There is some air getting in to the line.

Check the master for any signs of leaking under the rubber boot where the push pod enters, if there is any signs of fluid there or the slave replace them.

I did have to add fluid. Ican not find a leak but the slave sleeve is inside the bell housing. Also there isn't a push rod at the master.I am grasping at straws here. Thanks for your help.

Check master cylinder, there is a rod that attaches to the pedal, check under the rubber boot see pic for view.
