LAst resort.. Clutch help?
LAst resort.. Clutch help? First I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this.. here is what's been happening.
Started it out with the slave leaking (what I was told) so I said let me change the clutch while I am at it.
Replaced the clutch and slave. installed everything back was leaking still in the middle between the bell housing and the tranny again. replaced the O-ring on the master's plug and it appears to have stopped the leak because before the liquid would be completely empty the next day. I got some pressure on the clutch pedal but when i push it in and out it in first slowly let off the clutch the wheels don't move. could I have bled it wrong? I bought the monster clutch stage 2 with the speed bleeder. now I am stuck.. don't know what to do. going to check in a few days when I can go work on it again if the leaking completely stopped. if not any Ideas as to why it would still leak?
also, the battery has been disconnected for a few days and when I start it the car does not want to stay on is this normal as well. do I have to sit there for a few min keeping it on for it to stay on idle??

assumeing you have fixed the hydraulic leak,,,are you saying when you put in gear and release clutch the wheels don't spin?
disconnecting the battery and then connecting a few days later....your motor should run "normal" assumeing you battery cables are in good order and tightened correctly. meter your battery with engine running...should be 13.8-14.1 +/- VDC. Otherwise you may have a secondary issue if motor does not run on its own which could be a long list of things

I assume you got the clutch from SNLPerformance. They are really good of answering questions with their products. Did you call? You never answered my question on your other thread when you asked for help about the leak. Did you read Tick's How to bleed on their website and the sticky on here on how to bleed the Tick? I bled with the speed bleeder and the old fashion way to make sure the check valve was holding.
I got the clutch from monsterclutches.com.. been talk about the slave being bad, but what are the chances of me getting a brand new flawed slave?? as for the bleeding I did what I read, Crack the speed bleeder a bit and pump but fluid barely comes out.. any reason for that? any chance the master can be bad?

[QUOTE=BrainFreezE;17875166]I got the clutch from monsterclutches.com.. been talk about the slave being bad, but what are the chances of me getting a brand new flawed slave??
Mine was the brand new OEM Master. After pumping the pedal alot, found the fluid on the floor mat. Mine was brand new OEM from CarQuest.https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-tr...new-slave.html
What about my question to you about the slave bolts I asked?https://ls1tech.com/forums/manual-tr...-problems.html
I had plenty of fluid coming out of the speed bleeder. I also bled it from the Master also, then thru the speed bleeder. Then I got help to pump the pedal and crack the speed bleeder just for insurance. Sounds like you have no pressure.

[QUOTE=sleepinghawk;17875339] I had no issue with the slave bolts easy out and easy in and great threads on the screws. I see no signs of leakage from my master. just trying to see why when I pump the clutch it does not get stiffer or squirt fluid out the bleeder hose. I literally took the whole bolt off at the end of the bleeder and with the reservoir full, pumped the clutch and nothing comes out or little squirts..

Sounds like your master isn't moving any fluid. Even if the slave was bad, fluid would still move through it. Might as well just get a Tick M/C and be done with it, worked for me even though I really didn't want to spend the money, Im glad I did now.

Brand new OEM MC and I still had no pressure on the pedal. I knew once I bought the Tick adjustable MC it had to solve my problem. But I did get fluid out of my new OEM MC thru the speed bleeder, but once I saw the fluid puddle, I had no choice.
