M6 Clutch Issues, At a Complete Loss. Ok so heres the deal i am pulling my hair out over this. I installed a brand new Monster level III clutch about two weeks ago, clutch had literally no chatter except for the very first time i drove it. Drove it for about 300 miles in a week and a half period. While putting some miles on the clutch, i go to shift at around 3k rpm and the clutch pedal drops to the floor with absolutely no pressure. so i bring it back home and change the the master thinking its done for being that it had around 90k on it, and this doesnt solve the problem, so i pulled the trans today and changed the slave to the new one that came with the clutch(didnt change it originally) There was fluid dripping from the old one so im convinced the slave was shot. got my buddy over and we are bleeding the hydraulics, we get right to the very end pedal starts to feel nice and stiff and has good pressure, then all of a sudden push the pedal down and it dies again, absolutely no pedal pressure again, and its stuck to the floor board. i look under the car and theres a small amount of fluid under the trans???? WTF did a brand new slave die before i even turned the car on?!?!? i did have the diaphragm out while bleading it but that wouldnt kill the slave would it?????

I've got the same issues. The pedal starts to frim up, then it loses all firmness. I look under the car and the fluid is leaking onto the ground. I bought a new slave cylinder today and will put it in tonight. I'm hoping that the slave is the problem. But now that I've read your post, I am starting to fear the same will happen to me.
What can I do to make sure the diaphragm isn't pushed out?
Anyone?

WEll, you either cracked teh slave during install, or line is loose...check all fittings for tightness, Orings are OK, etc...
But yes, dead pedal is ALL hydro related...
