I have a 98 ls1 firebird I am having a issue with. A little less that a year (10K miles) installed a new stock slave, RAM clutch kit, speed bleeder and Tick performance master. Recently I noticed that as I drive the car more (it warms up) the clutch won't disengage all the way. I decided to try and bleed it to see if that fixed it. Dark fluid came out and I now have clean fluid with no air in the system. However, now the clutch wont fully disengage at all and once it runs for a few min it becomes impossible to shift. I dont see any fluid leaking and there is no air. Suggestions?

Sounds like the clutch setup needed a shim behind the slave.

You can try an adjustable master cylinder but that's probably going to be a band aid fix

The tick master is adjustable and i have a thin shim now. Havent changed anything but this has started.

maybe your clutch has worn (now thinner) and your MC needs to be adjusted some to compensate.

sounds like you have a disengagement problem. if on a flat surface motor running, car in gear, clutch pushed all the way down...does the car creep forward when you rev motor??

What was the gap on your clutch setup? What size shim did you go with?

I dont remember. It was about a year ago. Do you know what the gap should be? I kinda guestimated it.
