focking slave cylinder
ive replace my slave cylinder 3times now,, but they only last a week or longer, what is the deal with that, ive done the drill mod, master seems oka, but are you supposta till if its bad? ive about had it taking it out an puting a new one in, why does it keep focking up. what usually happens is i will be a high rpms then i go to shift an the pedle stays to the floor, a get it home an try bleeding it again(i have a mightvac) but the fluid comes out of the bellhousing, i see no leaks around the quick disconnect fitting, or around the master, so please tell me why this could be? could it be that my clutch is puting to much pressure on the slave, the clutch is a spec4, some body please help me

I doubt its the pressure. I put a cheap advance slave behind my ram powergrip HD pressure plate which supposedly has the highest clamping force. I havent had any problems yet. Untill you said something about the leak I was going to say to bleed it real good.

It sounds like you have another problem that is causing your issues. If your slave is leaking, you are damaging the seals somehow. How well are your lines insulated from heat? Are you sure the slave is not over-extending? Too much vacuum while bleeding? Just throwing out some ideas to consider.

it's happeing to me. i replaced the master first, thinking it was that. waste of money because i am still have this issue. bleed the stuff out of it (went through a bottle of fluid) and still no luck. i had even tried to vac bleed. i am going to replace the slave next and i doubt taking the torque management out in the tune did this to the car.

check them out, tell me what you think, since youve got the same type of deal, better off buying something better then having the same part missing up.
