The clutch is slipping causing the hydrolics to boil.What clutch are you running?

Please don't tell me a stock with a 408ci motor

Missing So you are saying that the bleeder valve above the quick connect fitting is missing????? Then what is in there??? Crawl under there and I bet that the bleeder valve is there. It's right above the quick connect fitting for the slave, and I believe takes a 11mm socket.

I have the same problem. From the research I've done, it seems to be either the master or slave cylinder. Which one do you guys think it is? I think I might replace them both.

Which master cylinder should I get (if replacing the slave doesn't work)? Ram, McLeod, stock, other...?

Dealerships suck? Try dealing w/ carmax's Maxcare after you bought the extended warranty insurance. It was a freaking NIGHTMARE!

But anyways, I just bought a new master and slave from Texas Speed. They said it should be here by Friday. Hopefully I can put it all in this weekend and I"ll let you guys know if it fixes the clutch getting stuck.

Will do. I'm probably going to swap out the slave first because I hear that's easier to replace. Hopefully that'll fix the problem and then I can install the master whenever.

For the master and slave I paid around 302$. I bought the Ram adjustable master cylinder cause it was cheaper than the McLeod one which was 300 something.
