Clutch sticks question So ya my clutch sticks in high rpms. I know it can either be fixed by replacing the slave, master, or can sometimes be the pp. but also I tend to get locked out of gears sometimes and when my clutch sticks to the floor if I pull it up with my foot it works again just fine without having to pump it which makes me think its not the slave or master. Does this make sense to anyone?

Very common problem for our cars. I did the drill mod first, but then changed to the updated hydraulics and new clutch and the problem was gone.I believe the 01-02 fbodys had a better clutch and hydraulics. It,s been about 10 years ago I first changed mine, but a got the whole kit from LUK clutches.

You can certainly try the drill mod if you like. Another way to check the master is to disconnect the quick-connect line that feeds the slave and try to push the pedal down. Don't force it, just apply even pressure. If the pedal doesn't move then the master should be fine. If it is, then you can look at replacing the slave. If you are like most folks its better to try to find the issue rather than throw parts at it and hope you find the problem. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,

i had the infamous sticky clutch for almost 4 yrs. I changed everything beside the clutch and it still did the same.
i first change the fluid with motul dot 4 synthetic- problem still there
change the slave cylinder - problem still there
change master to tick master - problem still there
changed my clutch to a diamond stage 2 - the problem went away

Probably about 330 horse and honestly don't drive hard at all. I do every once in a while and one time it stuck and now it has everytime I go into high rpms since the one day. Tick sounds good but almost to good to be true. I hear some big time chatter from the clutch when it's idling. If I press the clutch in half way a couple times I can sometimes get the chatter to go through
