"Well honey, the clutch has been acting up...I know how much you like driving it, and I just want you to be as safe as possible when doing so. Think of it as an investment for our future..."
That's the best I can come up with on short notice
How's your car holding up? The Strange 12-bolt? Mine is on order (finally)...

Car is holding up good. I get noise under decel at about 50-60mph. Still getting some ABS INOP problems...but I don't drive 'er that much so it doesn't really bug me. Gotta do a clutch swap in the next month of so.

OK OK WTF I power bled my brains out went thru two whole tanks of fluid and at the bleed port its clear fluid no air looks great. However the pedal when you push it just a small bit it sucks it to the floor. If you pump it quick not much more than 1/4 inch and then push it in its perfect. Push it and everytime and works fine, stop and if goes back to the same ****. help!!!!!!!!!!!

I would pump it up and it would work, but a slow press or holding it to the floor and it was as if the engagement point would get closer to the floor and the pedal wouldn't come back up. Double check for any leaks, and once you have bled it - pump the pedal slowly a few times then rebleed (this is what worked for me anyway).

Thanks i did everything i could think of. I even bled it like brakes, pedal pumped out fluid fine no air clear steady stream of fluid. Hell i dont know, the screwy thing is if it were sucking air why would it work perfect after a short pump? i was afraid it could be the master. I just put new clutch and press plate flywheel and slave in it less than 3000 miles ago this thing is making me crazy. lol thanks for the input

Mine felt really good after bleeding. However, the pedal got a little soft about 2 weeks later and then firmed up again. Maybe there's a little air working around. Anyway, since I can do the bleed in 20 min or less, I'll keep at it. I bled once again yesterday but instead of opening/closing bleeder for 5 second intervals, I just cracked a little bit and let the fluid push through slowly (several minutes) and then closed when done. I wonder if I had the slave open too much during the open/close method allowing air to get in the slave. NOt being able to attach a hose to the slave is a pain and would make it much easier.

MeentSS02, I have the same out of car bleeding setup (including the steve-d slave extension) like you do in the picture. I have two somewhat dumb questions:
1) when hand pumping the master, how far in are you supposed to pump (any risk of damage)?
2) I noticed the slave wasn't moving when pumping, but fluid was coming out the end of the line. Isn't the slave supposed to visibly react to the pressure?
THanks!

When pumping, and if you have the slave bleeder screw open, you are relieving the pressure through that screw, so it shouldn't move. Mine didn't...

THanks for the reply. After thinking about it (duh), I guess the slave is already in it's uncompressed state when out of the car, so there is no movement. WHen in the car, it's compressed and the pumping of the pedal would cause it to stretch out and push on the fingers. Oh, and pumping the master is a workout.
