do you have the master cylinder pushing too far out? how far up does the clutch grab?

You should have it adjusted to where you have an inch of free-play in the clutch pedal b-4 it does anything. This ensures no pressure on slave clutch out hot or cold. Readjust & then check it out.

yeah i adjusted it way down, it was way to high up, we will see if it took care of the problem.

Thanks for the responses.

any one else, have any input. Like i said i find it strange becasue it works flawlessly until im at the track doing a clutch dump in first gear and the peddle just sticks to the floor while the clutch does NOT slip
