Alright ever since I put in my 2100 this spring I have had less than perfect clutch pressure. I went through some engagement issues and recently put in a brand new OEM Slave, Slave Extension Rod and a SS Clutch Line. This fixed all of my engagement issues but I was still left with shitty clutch pressure even after countless bleeds.

The weird thing with the pressure is, its decent at the bottom of the pedal and holds decently until just after the engagement. But at the top of the pedal there is nothing left and it tends to stick with about 1/2 an inch to an inch of pedal play left.

I do not know what to do, I've bleed it countless times without any result. There aren't any leaks that I can see and my reservoir is always full with fluid. This is not a major problem as the clutch still fully engages/disengages, its just more of an annoyance having to pull the clutch to the top every time I shift.

Is the the infamous 2g pedal pump up, worn clutch assembly or what? Let me know what you think guys because I'm stumped, Thanks!

still sounds like you have air in your line.. some times the air just is a pain to get out... i personally used a break tool to pull a vacuum on the nipple of the slave clyinder i left if on there for a good 10 mins making sure the master cylinder didnt go dry...


other than that you may have a seal going bad inside your master cylinder..

Very rare, but it's possible that the nose of the bell housing where the TOB rides has a worn spot on it causing the TOB to hang or stick in some spots. Has your PP ever had a disk failure? I have seen disk failures that jammed material into the PP causing it to stick as well.

Get near the pedal assembly and pull it UP towards you (or towards the steering wheel), if it moves up then your pedal assembly is worn.

When was the last time the master cyl was replaced?
