Default Help please, Master or Slave?

Driving normal, shift to second, no pressure in the clutch, Car still works, but the Mcleod is slipping bad!

Bought a new disc, and a slave, pressure plate resurfaced.

Car still engages all the way to the top of my release after new parts installed. I have a Mcleod Adjustable, did my master take a dump? The clutch just doesnt feel right, pressure is gone. I thought it was the slave, had all this stuff replaced and still not feeling right??

Hows the adjustment on the master?
You need to have a little free play in the pedal, just a tad.
That way you know the clutch will be fully released.

Havent messed with the master yet, crappy weather. My question is everything was working perfect then one shift and WHAM, clutch dis-engages all the way at the top, change all the parts and it still does it. It feels like there is no pressure in it at all. I am wondering if the pressure plate is bad. It looked fine when the shop had it out, no bent fingers and no hot spots on the PP.

well in that case it does sound like a master. The McLeods have been known to cause them.You may at the very least need to bleed it, or you mught need to rebuild the master.
