McLeod Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder I recently installed the adjustable McLeod clutch master cylinder in my '01 WS.6. I bled the system (no easy procedure for sure) and everything seemed fine. Now, on occasion, the pedal will get soft at the top and even wants to stay on the floor every once in a while. Then, for no apparent reason, all symptoms go away and the pedal is firm once again. Anyone else experience this?
At first I thought it might be air in the system (and this may certainly be the case) but wouldn't the symptoms always be present until the air is removed by bleeding? Or, could I have simply gotten a bad master cylinder?

I have one of the "bad" ones. I have tried to get ahold of them to send it back for a rebuild but after numerous phone calls have yet to get ahold of anyone.
