Default Clutch Problems

I know this is probably been talked about before,but I'm at work and don't have alot of time to search.I was wondering whats the best aftermarket master cylinder to replace the stock POS one? The pedal is hanging on the floor after hard shifts. If anyone could help me out I' appreciated.

Lot of people are using the Mcleod Adj master. Others are using the stock one and modifing it to be adjustable and it works fine.

Hanging to the floor sounds like you need the drill mod. You can go with the mcleod or with the updated 01+ master and the drill mod (drill mod with either would help)

I have a 01 Master, and Slave w/a spec stage 3 clutch and stuck flywheel. I Shift at redline and it never sticks to the floor. I had the same problem as you with my old slave cylinder, when i replaced it it worked perfect.

I have a 98 Camaro Z28 6 speed. My clutch is not disengaging and the problem may be the master cylinder. The clutch is a new Centerforce and the master cylinder is also pretty new. Do these master cylinders go bad all the time? I guess my question is the same as the guy above. Is there an after market one for my car that will last more that a few monthes?
