I put in a Ram powergrip clutch along with a new pilot bearing, throwout bearing and slave cylinder about 4 months ago, everythings been fine with it until just recently. The pedal comes back up half way every so often, and I have to lift it back it up. Its getting pretty annoying and its occuring much more often now. I orginally thought maybe air in the lines but It was fine for so long, now im leaning more towards the master. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

did you drill the line restrictor out ? {drill mod} 1/8 drill bit
master cylinder end not the quick connect

No drill mod, and it happens during normal driving, I dont get why it would be fine for four months then just start to do it?

rebleed your system first then see its only labor no money spent yet . Did you install the provided shim ? Is this a powergrip or hd

quiksilver9531

powergrip, and yea I installed the shim, learned that it needed the shim the hard way though, had to take the trans off after I put it all together.

God, I have done that too....

I havent had a chance to bleed the system yet but what I have noticed is that the pedal not traveling back up is occuring much more often now is pissing me off.

And i might add that I seriously hate that clutch, wish i woulda gotten a zo6 clutch instead.

the Z06 clutch isnt a very good clutch if you have more than a few mods, i had one that had 400 miles on it and oops got it hot once and there it went never made it past 5500rpm again, sold the transmission last night.

update: I bought a mity-vac and bleed the clutch, got a little air out, pedal felt great, a day later, air was back in it again, and I had to start lifting the pedal up again, it was occuring less, but still happening again. I bled it again same thing, felt real good for a few hours then the pedal started not to return all the way again. I'm thinking its definatly the master now, any other ideas? or does the master sound like the problem? Thanks.

From my experience (I just got done with my ram and love it) Air bubbles keep getting freed up from time to time and you just gotta keep vac'in it. The individual before me had a ram HD installed and didnt have the shim in, even then it still lasted 8k miles. Now the shims in lets see how long these things last

is it leaking when you start pushing the pedel, an if so where is it leaking?

Mine is doing the same crap, I'll be driving and occasionally the pedal will just stick to the floor. It's not leaking and I'm not losing fluid anywhere, so I ordered a Ram adjustable master and if that does take care of it then I'll being putting a slave....yippie

Before I buy a master, I want to be sure that its the master, the slave is fairly new only a few months old, is there any way to check the master cylinder? Like I said, I use the mityvac and bleed it, its good for a few hours then the pedal starts to not come up all the way, I'm thinking its the master, because no fluid is leaking out from any where. But since its a 130 dollars, I want to be sure thats the problem. It seems that the longer I hold the clutch pedal down, say at a light, the more likely the pedal doesnt come up all the way when I release it.

heres what you do, disconnect the quickconnect that connects to your slave, once that is unconnect, bleed your master again, untill your sure you got all the air out. now see how firm your master is, i wouldnt push to hard, just see if you get any give, also try to lesson to it while you press down the pedel, if no give, then your golden. thats my two cents, an thats what i did. good luck
