little background about how this happened...
I was out tune'n, mainly in rpm mode with MAFT, doing 3rd gear runs. Every once and a while i did a 1/4 mile run to see how the times were. I was out for a couple of hours doing this. And the clutch didn't even care (6 puck Spec clutch) because i was shifting slow, and like i said, mainly doing 3rd gear runs. just got everything working again, didn't want to break shit... ya well that didn't last long.
Problem:
Ok so now i noticed on my last 2 1/4 runs it was getting VERY hard to put into gear. it seems as though the clutch isn't dissengaging fully, So i end up grinding a few gears before i figure out i can Double Clutch and it seems to go in Fairly smooth... but of course it's still a lot harder to go in. I flushed out the old clutch fluid, on the slight chance it got too hot, and that didn't affect it. However when i adjust the CLutch from inside the car, it seems to have pressure again and i can shift, but for only a few shifts, then the pressure drops and the clutch is very easy to push down again. The clutch doesn't slip even at WOT, so i'm assuming it's not the clutch or tranny.
I checked the slave and it doesn't seem to be leaking, but i've no idea how i Check the master out. and no idea how i replace it even if it is the problem.
so if u could maybe point me in the right direction and i'll start checking/replacing items
EDIT: just to clarify since i've been reading more... The clutch is mushy, it comes back up on it's own, doesn't stay down. And the clutch fluid was Full so i don't think it's been leaking
