Default Clutch pedal stuck to floor-drill mod done why?

Well, yesterday I was driving the TA taking some logs of data. I did a 1-2-3 run at pretty much WOT, then coasted back down to a stop sign. I pulled and prepared for another WOT run. Pulled out and punched it in first, went to grab second and she didn't go into gear as easy as normal, then went to grab third and grind . Let off right away and see my dang clutch pedal is on the floor. I pumped a couple times just to see if something was hung up. Then I grabbed it and pulled it back up. Felt pretty spongt for a minute or two, but then went back to normal.

Any thoughts as to why this happened? I have not heard of many guys having this happen with the drill mod done.

As a side note, I think I have a little air in my clutch system that needs bled out. Maybe that has something to do with it?

You have Air in the system.. Go beyond that and make sure you have a heavy duty Zip Tie around the rubber hose that attaches to the Master cylinder. ALSO I put header wrap around the steel braded line to the slave cylinder. Also use Wilwood 570 Deg Brake fluid for your hydrolic fluid. That handles the temps better..

These steps will ensure a great speed shifting car!!
