I've tried everything.. Car still won't shift... I've tried 3 different master cylinders and now just put in another new slave in it this past weekend (2nd 01 slave) 
The car first had a real soft pedal feel to it, then we rebled the master saturday with a mity vac for a good 30 mins. There were no air bubbles coming out at all. Put everything back together and still at high RPM's, the car takes a second or 2 to get into gear. Also on hard runs, the pedal loses most pressure and sometimes sticks to the floor. It is a lot better than before I put the new slave in but still is a PITA. 
Does ANYONE have any other suggestions that I can try before I sell this POS. 
A McCleod master? Another clutch? This clutch probably only has 4-6k miles on it and also the tranny was rebuilt the same time I put a new clutch in it.

Re: I've tried everything.. Car still won't shift... If the clutch hasn't worked since day 1, then there might be something wrong with it.
From my experience, if the car NEVER shifts at high RPM, then it is a clutch problem. I am not certain what causes the pedal to stick to the floor, but when I removed my old spec clutch, with the sticking pedal, the PP was screwed up.
I really only had problems hitting 3rd with the stock master cylinder and before doing the drill mod. The drill mod and McLeod fixed the 3rd gear shifting problem.
EDIT<I don't have a cartek clutch, so maybe somebody with a cartek clutch will sound off>
