Clutch issues and car shaking??
I installed a new clutch pressure plate and slave cylinder about 3,000 miles ago. Everything worked great and then driving home one day and clutch just stopped working completely. There was no pressure on the clutch at all and the fluid was completely full. Went out a few days later to start up the car... it was fine. Now the car has alot of violent shaking especially in reverse and first gear at low speeds. Also noticed that it felt like the clutch slipped a couple times very short and sudden driving at highway speeds yesterday. Also when i installed the new clutch after bleeding the lines i had to put a baseball bat between the pedal and the seat and let it sit overnight to get any pressure to build up? Any help or people with the same issues??

Whether you are losing fluid or not, you seem to indicate that you are having an issue maintaining fluid pressure. You could have an internal leak, that is allowing the fluid to pass the seals inside the slave or master, without seing massive fluid loss. Unfortunately there isn't really a way to detect an internal leak so you may need to replace the slave and master to remedy this.
The Master is easiest to replace because it it located on the firewall. The slave on the otherhand will require the transmission to be removed for replacement. Let me know if you need to order a slave or master as we have them on the shelf and they are very reasonably priced. Thanks!
