Mine is acting up again, I cant see this brand new pressure plate being bad.

I may put a new TOB in and see what happens.

Aggrivating **** I tell ya.

You got that right!

It's aggravating that common problems that happen to these LS hydraulic clutches don't really seem to have clear answers . Some things work for some people and not for others. Some people change out everything and still have problems!

My car definitely isn't right. Not only does the clutch start to engage with the pedal close to the floor, but occasionally it's hard to get into first gear as well.

I even noticed, once in a while, the clutch will chatter a bit on take off . Makes me wonder if my slave cylinder is leaking fluid???

I just replaced my MC and it drove like a brand new car after that, its usually a hydraulic issue, slave or MC.

alot of guys in this thread just dont wanna face the fact that they need a new clutch, and a tick master lol,fastfat, so you got your clutch setup from autozone? kinda confused on that,

I think that anything with cars is possible. It just seems strange that my car only has 25,000 babied miles on it and the clutch system was always smooth as silk and never caused me to give it a second thought. Then, all of a sudden, the clutch pedal sticks to the floor and now I've got continuing clutch problems.

As a mentioned in post #22, I noticed some clutch chattering the last time I drove the car. This car's clutch has never, I repeat NEVER EVER, EVER chattered!

I called Tick about 10 days ago and they confirmed the the F body LS master cylinder is on backorder until the later part of Jan 2012:

Same as the LS6 Clutch you buy from GM, only cheaper. Identical in appearance and manufacturer.

I got to thinking about this, I have had 3 5.0 Mustangs, I beat the living **** out of those cars and never ONCE had an issue like these cars have. The difference? The Mustang is cable operated release, our cars are hydraulic.

Clutches in both cars operate the same way other than the difference in how you release and apply the clutch.

I dont see my pressure plate being bad after a 1000 miles and probably 15 total powershifts.

I think its a slave issue, mine has a Tick master in it.

I dont think the slave cant tolerate heat, you overheat it and the it does something to the seals.

I am too old to just take it down to put a slave in and test it, but I may do it any way.

I just got 100% confirmation that my slave is bad. A retired mechanic from my church came over and he opened my clutch master cylinder cap and pulled out the rubber thing. The level was about 1/4" below the line. When my father-in-law and I changed the fluid last week, we had the new level just a hair above that line.

I jacked up the front of my car and noticed the wet spot on the bellhousing was bigger than before. I then jacked the rear end of the car way up and hydraulic fluid came pouring out of the hole/slot in the bellhousing .

The good news is that I now know what is wrong with my car.

Good luck FASTFATBOY on finding out what's wrong with yours.
