is my master/slave going out?
is my master/slave going out? my car only has 18k miles on it. I just put a brand new Spec Stage 3 clutch and fully built tranny, lingenfelter output shafts, and a Ripper shifter in my car no more than 1500 miles ago. Now my clutch seems to be engaging 1/2 an inch from the floor, its hard for my to put the car into 1st and reverse and when the clutch is all the way in theres a vibration through out the car. Does this sound like i need to replace my master? Any help would be appreciated, thanks

A master isnt a common part to go (compared to the slave), but its easier to change than a slave. Especially in a C5. They go for around 150 bux. McLeod for 300 or so.

Bleed, Bleed and Bleed again.
As has been stated here before regarding the technique:
* Crack open bleeder;
* Have assistant pump and hold the clutch pedal;
* Close bleeder;
* Slowly pull clutch pedal to full upright position;
* Repeat as necessary;
* Always keep an eye on the MC reservoir to insure it doesn't go dry.
I would be very surprised if that doesn't take care of your problems.

pump the clutch
press the clutch in and hold
have buddy crack bleed valve
then close bleed valve
repeat
I wouldnt drive the car untill you get this taken care of, if possible. If the clutch isnt releasing all the way, your just putting more wear on that brand new tranny. If you want I might be home when you are, and give me a call and ill help.
