Pedal sticks to floor. (new m/cyl & slave) I have a 2000 t/a with 106k on the original clutch. I have been having the clutch sticking to the floor problem. I have replaced the master cylinder and the slave, and did the drill mod. I still have the same problem i losse pedal at high rpm. I can launch good by second gear i got 3/4 to 1/2 pedal then at third i have no pedal. This only happens at over 5500 rpm other wise the shifting is fine. The trans was also rebuilt less than 1000 miles ago. What else should i check? Any help or comments would be great.

The clutch seems to still grab good. Does the fingers get week on the pressure plate? Or does the high rpm push the slave back so it has no pedal? I agree my clutch is old and well worm i am just tring to understand what is going on before i replace it.

As long as there's meat on the clutch disc, it will still grab...
However, when the disc material is worn down past a certain point, the pressure plate tends to overcenter at high RPM's...
Overcentering is when the pressure plate springs go past the normal point of actuation due to wear....
Once the springs get past this point, the centrifugal force from high RPM's hold the sprung diaphragm in this position until the RPM's drop...
This is why most people get a sticky pedal while shifting at high RPM's
Since you've already got new hydraulics, I'd say it's most likely your high mileage clutch....

Sorry to Hijack this thread, But my Textralia does the same exact thing. I have a new slave and the clutch is bled. Ive got around 15000 miles on the OZ700, so could it be the PP? Also, I have not performed teh drill mod. Lastly, It could be from a shitty install by norris in orlando... Ive heard alot of bad about them. What can I do?
