Default drill mod sucks

so i just wasted an assload of time pulling out my master today and drilling out the restrictor only to put it back on and still have my effin clutch pedal stick to the floor.....im so happy that i have replaced the slave and done the drill mod and still have a shitty *** clutch. im so excited that im about ready to sell this piece of **** so i dont have to screw with it anymore. cuz frankly these clutch hydrolic designs for these cars are **** poor in my opinion...end of rant......my clutch feels different now, but feels like its really just a light pedal and isnt doing much and acts weird when i down shift....i dont wanna buy a new master and i dont wanna buy a new clutch....im pissed

I would bleed your clutch again. Make sure you don't have ANY air in there...

Try bleeding it some more. The drill mod is a very good mod in these cars. Are you sure that the clutch is in good shape?

I am amazed at the amount of people here that have clutch issues since I never had one problem with stock clutch/hydros and i dont have a single problem with my new SPEC setup either with upgraded hydros.

That and the drill mod isn't recommended to fix the pedal sticking to the floor problem. It's for fixing the 2-3 upshift delay when you're beating on it because it allows the fluid to trave from the slave back to the master more quickly.

The conventional way never even worked for me. Used the mighty vac once and have never done it another way since.

I did my drill mod 3 months ago while engine was out only to find out last weekend the braided line had a leak. Needless to say I went and bought a new one and did not do the drill mod this time.

drill mod works, but it ain't the miracle drug for your problem, you got other issues

funny thing, I had to bleed my system. It took all of 30 second. I had a guy up in the car with his foot on the pedal. I cracked the bleeder and closed it and I've never had a single problem.

back on topic. You need a new clutch. The diaphram on the stock clutches is shitty, and doesnt really like shifting past about 5000. It will fix the problem if you get a Spec 3, RAM HD, or Centerforce.

its a 2000 ws6 i used to have a 96. anyways i already replaced the slave and i bled it with a power bleeder because the conventional way just wasnt working at all. well anyways the pedal was crap yesterday and now that i have been driving it its starting to feel alot better and i got on it tonight and it worked fine. for some reason the 2 times i have bled the clutch it has been crappy at first and got better. in fact after i put the slave in it did the same thign and then i didnt have the problem for a long time after that.....its very intermidant only happens every once in a while . but anyways seems better now but i will probably have to put a better clutch in it anyway im putting down 400 hp to the wheels now lol. and its a stock clutch as far as i know
