rebuilding an Mcloed ADJ master Yesterday at the track. On my first pass as I went to shift in to fourth gear the pedal hit the floor and didn't come up. After jacking it up and seeing that the line was still connected to the tranny and while my friend pumped the clutch and all the fluid was coming out towards the master I realized that either the line has a hole in it or the master is gonna need a rebuild cause I have no pedal pressure at all. I went ahead and ordered a rebuild kit and line from mcloed. Is there any special tool or knowlegde I need to have or know to rebuild the master? Oh ya I have a Mcloed adj master if that makes any differance.

While under the car and my friend pumping the clutch pedal its coming from under the heat shield that covers up the line right before the tranny.
Right after I just wrote the line above I went out to double check the leak from the under the hood and now I have pressure in my clutch WTF!!!!! Who knows , all I know is that somehow I losted all pressure yesterday at the track around 6:00 and still had no pressure at midnight when I left to go home and now my girlfriend gets in the car and pumps it so I can see where the leak is coming from and now there is pressure and no leaks, woman work wonders!!!!!!! Either way my still rebuilding the master so all advice would be nice.

Did you do the drill mod? Have seen sometimes when drilled to much heat builds up & damages the line. But either way it sounds like your gonna be needing one. As long as it is not leaking at the sealing washer from line to master also check that....
