Clutch engagement and release problems This thread has prob. been sent a million times but I haven't been on the web is a while. I installed a center force stage three clutch, new TOB and Clutch master cyl.
The prob. that I am having is that the clutch disengages very low and then engages again very low (aobut three inches from the floor). I had to take off the rubber bumper off the clutch ped. stop to help aid in clutch disengagement.
I often have to Push hard just to get the car in gear. It gets better after the car warms up.
I bleed the system several times and even took it to the dealership to get them to bleed it. The ped. is a hell of alot harder also. I thought that the ped. pressure would not be much harder than stock. Whats up with that?
Not any better.
Need help

No reply Mad looks but no replies. Thats all good but I thought you all may want an update.
Funny thing is that today I just took the cap off the clutch res. and pumped the ped. a bunch of time ( the old way to bleed the system) and what do you know. I think I fixed the prob.
While I was pumping, I noticed that the ped. got a hell of a lot softer. I put it in gear and the release point got higher and the shifter got into gear easier. I put the cap back on and went for a drive and it seams to be back to normal.
Weird. I did this before and it didn't help. Last time when I did it, the engine was off. This time the engine was running.
Was the how I was supposed to do it the first time? If so I feel dumb as hell and I could have fixed this damn prob. months ago.
Peace out
