Re: Clutch Pedal Stays On Floor - HELP!! You need to do the drill mod for sure and you should get an adjustable master as well. Which one is debatable. I didn't have any luck with the Mcleod. Honestly I think it sucks. Maybe I just got a bad one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I put the stock adjustable that came with my Cartek clutch back in and it is working much better. Sorry I can't say one or the other but it seems that everyone has different experiences with each setup. Good luck.

Clutch Pedal Stays On Floor - HELP!! I'm pretty sure this is the 'drill mod' that I'm going to need . . . I have the Star Stage III carbon clutch, but stock master cylinder. I've downloaded the instructions on the mod, but want to know if I absolutely need the adjustable master cylinder, and what brand. The instructions refer to the McLeod master . . . how much are these, where's the best place to get it?
And oh yea, this is at high-rpm shifts at the track with about 8psi . . . normal driving it's fine!
Thanks all!

Re: Clutch Pedal Stays On Floor - HELP!! Thanks guys! I also saw this on Thunder's site:
"GM 2001 LS1 Clutch Slave Cylinder (recommended for 1998-2000 models)"
Did you guys upgrade the slave too? The instructions I saw for the drill mod didn't say anything about the slave . . .

Re: Clutch Pedal Stays On Floor - HELP!! 99% of the time I only hear this problem with SPEC clutches <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> It is possible the pressure plate is being over thrown,there for vacuum is holding the clutch out at high RPM's.

Re: Clutch Pedal Stays On Floor - HELP!! SPEC clutches are designed to work with the factory hydraulics. My guess is your slave cylinder is going. Get a new slave and slap her in. Do the drill mod at the same time. I don't think anything is wrong with your master. On my old clutch it would stick the floor everytime I would jump on it, after the new spec clutch and new revised GM slave cylinder its great.
