Okay, so I was told the whole soft clutch pressure problem on these cars is due to having bad fluid in the slave cylinder, so I bled the clutch. The fluid was real dark and shitty, so I figured it would get rid of my 'soft clutch.'

So I bled the clutch, and it did not really feel any different. What the problem is, is when I do WOT pulls in my car, the clutch pedal gets real weak, almost like there is no disengagement of the pressure plate.

So what the hell is wrong with this thing, bad slave? The fluid in the slave is now clear as day, so what is gong on? Thanks for some ideas.

Well, after skimming through that, the only thing I could possibly find wrong with what I have now, is the fact that I used dot three when I bled the clutch. Would that really make that much of a difference?

Anyway, thanks for the good info!

DOT 3 is fine, but especially if you're getting on it a lot I recommend DOT 4. You'll probably end up having to put a new slave in. Just stay on top of keeping your fluid clean in the reservoir and never let it get black.
