Probaly junk stock hydraulics still on your car? If so, you have a MC or slave going south (or both) How many miles on teh stuff? Clutch?

Well, that many miles, you are probaly looking at everything on it's way out. What you CAN do if short on funds is this:

1)Change out hydraulic fluid, then bleed system REAL good

Problem still there:

2)Getcha a new MC (again, if short on funds, grab an auto parts store one, if not, grab an adjustable one from Tick, a sponsor on teh site) and bleed system REAL good

Problem still there:
and depending on how short on funds you are, either A)Grab a new slave, pull tranny, and replace slave (and of course check condition of clutch while you have tranny out) put back together, and bleed system REAL good
or B)go ahead and buy a Monster Clutch with a new slave, pull tranny, install, bleed system REAL good, and go bang gears!!!

So, its like this, you CAN replace teh slave without replacing teh clutch, but say you do it that way, and problem is STILL there, you are looking at a bad clutch, and pulling tranny AGAIN toreplace clutch. So, THAT depends on your $$$$ bank account, and what you can afford to do, or not. Hope that helps some.
let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

You guys both stock? If so, I would recommend the Monster Levels 1, 1.5, 2, or 2.5. You can check out prices below on my site. What comes with a Monster setup is the following:
New disc, Pressure Plate, Flywheel (during sale, you get your choice of Billet Steel SFI or Chromoly), Pilot bearing, and alignment tool with teh basic kit. If you opt to go Premium, a new slave cylinder is included as well. Also free shipping is part of the sale as well (and discounted prices) just check my site for details.
Levels 1 and 1.5 are good for 425 HP/TQ @ tires and Levels 2 and 2.5 are good for 525 HP/TQ @ tires
