2004 V with a new clutch, pressure plate, slave and single mass flywheel. Everything is in right, torqued to spec, slave/TOB-PP spacing is perfect, everything is bled, pedal feels great but the clutch is still dragging (won't completely disengage). Up on jack stands, the wheels spin in gear with the clutch pedal depressed. Can access 1-6 fairly easily but can't get reverse because I can feel the shaft just spinning even though the pedal is to the floor.

Has anyone else had the same issues? Talked to Tick and they suggested the master isn't pushing enough fluid to get full clutch release. I did a check of the master from inside the car and it moves smooth and no leaks (haven't inspected from the engine bay though). As far as I am aware, an aftermarket master isn't available and I don't want to replace the current master with another OE master just to have the same result (i.e., if nothing is wrong with the current master).

Any ideas? Hopefully someone else has experienced something similar beyond the regular spacing issues.

You still have air in the system.

If measurement is actually good, what cobra said.

On the final bleed, close the bleeder valve as someone presses down on the clutch.

What did you torque the pressure plate to? Most likely, you need to bleed the system better, but there are multiple pressure plate specs that are vehicle-specific. If you used something greater than 52 ft-lbs, you're going to have a problem.

What kind of kit is it? I had the ACT kit and it was garbage... I had the same issue with the clutch not releasing all the way. I wish Tick would make a master/combo for the V1 already
