Default Shifting Issues

I have a recently rebuilt M6. When I had the trans rebuilt I also replaced the clutch kit, slave, and Tick Master, that was about 5000 miles ago. Now the issue I have sometimes is when shifting at higher rpms, the pedal seems to not come back up as fast as it should. Anyone else have this issue?

Try disconnecting the hydraulic line from the transmission. Then leave it disconnected, get in the car and push the clutch pedal in. It should be rock solid. If it feels soft or spongy(no more than 1/2" to 3/4" of softness) then u have a leak in the hydraulic system somewhere between the MC and the end of the line you just disconnected. Other wise it probably ur slave.

Try bleeding ur system really well to make sure there's no air in the line.

Deso has it right...this sounds like a hydraulic issue. Check the fluid. Is it dark or discolored? You could be over-heating it. Bleed the system and let us know what you experience afterwards. Thanks!

I hope not either for ur sake. I think I'm gonna have to drop mine tomorrow. Clutch isn't disengaging all the way. I think it's pressure plate fingers

I don't think your issue is the hydraulics, give us a call and we'll go over a few things with you.
