clutch sticks to the floor randomly

[turboblack2door]

i've notice that everyonce in a while my clutch (act stage 2 setup) will stick to the floor and it seem notchey when trying to shift gears. The person who owned the car before me told me the clutch is a year old and the slave cylender was replaced about 1week after the clutch. My question is what do i do to fix this. Do i need to bleed the slave cylender, adjust the clutch rod or what?

I'd recommend checking your crank end play. It could (lets hope not) be crankwalk. Does it doe it worse going around a corner? One way worse than the other?

First off, check your slave and master cylinders for leaks.

Secondly, when is it doing this? Is it after a lot of shifting, right away on startup? If it is happening right away you probably have air in your lines and may have leaky cylinders. If it is after a lot of shifting your master cylinder push rod may be threaded out too far so you are getting "pump up," the clutch equivalent to brake-fade (pressure is never released on the hydraulic system so it creates lots of heat and stops working.)

I do seem to have to pump the clutch sometimes and if i do that is makes it easier to go into gears. So the soulution to this is to adjust the cylender push rod?

I was having this problem and I replaced my master and slave cylinders, finally the clutch went out so I replaced that and adjusted my clutch pedal and found out that my clutch line was leaking. Here is what I just ordered. The 2G complete kit.

If this happens when making left turns then it may be crankwalk. But first you need to check for fluid leaks.

doesn't do it when turning left

MAYBE....

First off, check your slave and master cylinders for leaks.

Secondly, when is it doing this? Is it after a lot of shifting, right away on startup?

1. If it is happening right away you probably have air in your lines and may have leaky cylinders.

2. If it is after a lot of shifting your master cylinder push rod may be threaded out too far so you are getting "pump up," the clutch equivalent to brake-fade (pressure is never released on the hydraulic system so it creates lots of heat and stops working.)

Check for leaks, bleed the system and go from there. If you have a service manual it should have a checklist of things to go through as well as diagrams or photos.
