Textralia Clutch Problem

Textralia Clutch Problem I noticed once I got my Textralia single disc that it felt almost like stock. After taking it to the track and warming it up, I've been having issues with getting the car in gear? I have to use a lot of force to get it in gear and sometime reverse grinds. Has anyone else had this problem?

It sounds to me as if you guys might need new master cyliders, I had the same issues and put a new MC in and the issue went away. Most would change both MC and slave but I just did the factory MC.

I'm having a similar problem with my Textralia OZ700. The difference is mine seems to be more difficult when cold. Does your car want to start rolling with the clutch pedal just off of the floor? Mine does. I'm thinking the clutch is dragging.

When speaking with Jarrad about this from Textrilla he says that the number one issue is the way people are bleeding the system. I had the same issue and rebleed the system and put a new master cylinder in and the problem was resolved. When bleeding you need 2 people. One persone to crack the bleeder the next to push the clutch pedal to the floor the close bleeder and repeat this setp until pedal is hard also make sure you have enough fluid when doing so. If you buy a new master cylinder from the dealer it is already prebleed.
