Clutch Help I am again having clutch problems in my WS6. Last year I upgraded my stock clutch to the SLP clutch kit. If I launched hard the pedal would stick so I did the drill mod to the master cylinder. Yesterday I shifted from 2nd to 3rd hard and the clutch pedal is starting to stick again. It will grab 2nd hard. I checked the fluid in the resevoir and it is filled to the correct level. Any ideas on why this i happening. Do I need a new clutch and if so please give me some ideas on what to look for. TIA....Scott

Re: Clutch Help When you say "stick", do you mean the clutch pedal is sticking to the floor? If so, that isn't a clutch issue, its a hydraulic issue.
1. bleed the slave
2. insulate the clutch hydraulic line between the slave and master and move it as far away as possible from any exhaust pipes. Heat messes with the viscosity of the fluid and causes a mushy pedal.
3. if those don't work, I'd suggest replacing the master and slave. Get an adjustable master.

I doesn't return all the way to the top, I just pulled the knee bolster off and I did find that my clutch return spring is broken again for the 3rd time. But this has never felt like this before when it broke in the past. I am calling dealers now to try to find 1 and hopefully this is the problem.
