Default Master cyl, slave cly, or pressure plate.

Ok my clutch is screwwy. When i race or run it hard the clutch will stick to the floor. i have to pull it up with my foot.
I did the drill mod and put high temperature brake fluid in it but it still does it, not quite as bad but still bad.

Any ideas on what the cause is. Is it possible to break the pressure plste?
Or did my master cylinder go bad. or maybe my slave cylider. moneys tight so i need to konw what to fix.

I have a starspec stage # carbon, stock master and slave.
it used to not do it but now it is. i cant get better then a 13.0 on the track, and cant do burnouts. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

ahh sounds like an excuse to me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> c'mon spec just do whats right.. they know that their first gen s3's wear out and overextend themselves after a lot of heat cycles... i sent them mine that did that about 6 months ago.

Sorry about the problem I am looking for a a new clutch I am thinking Mcleod? My car is still at SpeedWorks put Greg will dyno it soon turbos only. Are you going to redyno after your new exhaust. I'll let you now the dyno # when it's done. Oh I was going to ask you how much boost did you get at the end of tuning?

I probably wont redyno till i come back with an ls6 intake, new fuel reg, Subframe connectors (they been ginving my a hard time for not having any.) and fix my clutch problem and wastegate problem. That way they can tweak the tunning, and i'll probably bump the rev limiter up to 7k <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I was set at 10psi after the tune, with little knock <.97*
I think we can squeeze out another psi or 2 on pump. and id still like to see what shell do on race gas.
