Help with clutch problem! I am getting really frustrated with my clutch. When i go WOT to redline the clutch gets soft and engages/disengages close to the floor. It still works fine but the pedal is real soft.
I've taken out the old black fluid that was boiled and replaced it with dot 4. I have wrapped my line so it doesnt boil the fluid. I have also had the clutch bled and it still does it!!
What else can be done?

Doing my clutch and tranny now I have the same problem to a tee . Clutch was fine < but replace it anyway along with a new m12 and slave . Once i got looking into it . The slave cylinder was leaking and pilot bearing was in pieces .

I would agree...this would most likely be slave related. I would replace the slave and insure that the clutch is in good shape while you have everything out of the car. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!!!

Where can i find a slave for a good price?
my RAM Slave and adjustable Master have been doing very well since the month after I got my car (almost 3 years ago, daily driver). Was the first thing I did after I got the car and I have no complaints at all. WS6store.com has a good price on them. Just don't buy RAM's clutches 
- oh yah, have you done the drill mod yet? Just a random question.

I'm making a little more power now than the last time you seen me
So what'd u do? Cam? If so, how big? N20? PM me if you don't want it all over the boards.
same thing happend to mine.. its the hydraulics. might as well upgrade the clutch since u got the spray hooked up.. then replace the master and slave and make sure they do the drill mod.. also have them cover (forget the part) with heater hose so the fluids dont boil
