Bad pilot bearing? Just put in a Ram powergrip HD with new GM slave and shim. normally bled the slave around 7-8 times finally getting a hard firm pedal. everything held great drove it for 20 miles or so. parked it and left it in gear. came out and now the clutch grabs and then stalls the car along with making a clangy noise. it even does this in neutral. sometimes it wont go into any gear, wether the car is on or off. it just does nothing. any ideas? were gonna try to bleed it more in the morning. someone told me sometime it takes an hour of bleeding to get everylast bubble out.
I don't this is a bleeding problem or air in the system. it sounds more mechanical, everything was fine before the install?.....now its doing this...maybe something went wrong on the install.

yeah everything was normal in a way..cluthc stuck to the floor once and half once. no more than that at all...the weird thing is that it worked for 20 plus miles originally after install. now it is fubar. and when it worked it was working flawless. and i drove it normally. no abuse. thats why it seems like a air problem. im lost and frusturated
All I can say is if it the pilot bearing it can take everything else with it just like it did mine. I just had to replace the entire clutch system in my 98 TA due to the pilot bearing going bad. I can tell you though mine didn't act like that at all. Oh yeah GO GATORS!!!!
