Losing clutch pressure w/fluid still full?
Hello Guys.. So im trying to work out the kinks after my t56 conversion. I have the Tick Master, speed bleeder w/ Monster Stage 3 premium kit. I bled the clutch for the first time after I installed everything. The pedal was nice and stiff and I could go through all the gears with no issues.. The next day I go out to work on the car and start it up, the clutch is lower with less travel but my fluids are full. I look around and everything seems to be dry. I bled the system again, the pedal became stiff, higher and the car shifted fine.. The next day, same thing, can't shift it, fluids are full and lower pedal.. I don't understand. Unless maybe the Pressure settles and I have to adjust the clutch pedal now?

With no external leaks, it sounds like a master seal is allowing a leak-by. This can happen if you use too high a vac on a bleed operation and damage the master seal. Did you use a Mity vac or similar bleeder? What vac did you pump?

Master to Slave
So I got under the car and took out the connector from the Master to slave and reseated it. I seem to have normal operation of the Clutch.. Weird but Reseating seemed to have fixed it.
