02 camaro ss. Just got my new clutch built, its a big one. Got everything back together and went to bleed the clutch out. Clutch finally got stiff, but now, once you get halfway down, it gives out and goes to the floor and fluid blows out of the slave cylinder inside the tranny. Any opinions

is the bleed screw tight? if it is may be a cracked slave

somebody told me i may need to buy an adjustable master cylinder, along with a new slave

Forget about the master until you fix the slave problem. You'll have to pull the slave to find out why it's leaking unless you just didn't have the bleeder tight.

aight. i know the bleeder screw is tight, but i will pull the slave again. i just dont understand why it doesnt leak until the pedal is halfway down

robster

anyone else have any opinions

If fluid is pouring out of the Bell-housing then it is very likely a cracked slave. The only you can do at this point is pull the trans and check things out. There isn't really any way to repair the slave...you will simply need to get a new one. Make sure that you get the appropriate part for your car though, as there are a few different slave cyllinders being sold by Chevy at this time. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

i got a bad pressure plate. The center was staying pushed in and wasnt releasing, therefore, as i pumped and pumped and pumped, the throwout bearing was already pushed all the way out resulting in blowing the seal out.
