Default Clutch Fluid / Pedal

Everything is stock except the Spec Stage 3 I've had for over a year......I mity-vac the resevoir and cltch is fine......over time I lose the clutch and the fluid. I have headers but the lines are heat shielded......I think there might be DOT 3 coming from the slit in the bottom of the tranny.........and ideas? Thanks in advance.....

Well, if it's coming out of the bellhousing, it's either a leaking slave or a loose bleeder valve...


Just curious, did you install the shim with the Spec3?

Sounds like the bleeder valve is loose.

I would check the bleeder befor I pulled out the trani, Its a quick check that might save you a few hours of work.

Default Make sure...

Make sure you check the disc while the trans is off. If you have had fluid in the bellhousing then there is a good chance that the disc is contaminated. It is always better to check then not. Thanks,
