Angry Hydraulic Issue
Well it feels like groundhog day. About 30k miles ago I did everything: Stage 2 T56 rebuild, aluminum flywheel, LS7 clutch, GM Slave, tick master, pilot bearing, speed bleeder, etc, etc...

Well yesterday, no clutch and fluid is dripping out from the bell housing area.

I'm guessing right now it is the slave, somehow failed prematurely, but not sure yet. Just curious if anyone wants to speculate or take guesses.

Also, I really don't want to.. but I'm debating changing the clutch/pressure once again even though I'm sure it is fine as I'm running stock power and don't abuse the car. Could be a big brake fluidy mess now after this so who knows.

Sounds like the slave failed, make sure the fluid didn't/doesn't contaminate the disc and you get it cleaned off.

For sure... Hopefully the fluid didn't fly up and hit the clutch or flywheel..

I'm just surprised the slave fails after only 30k miles.
