WTf is wrong with my clutch engagement?

Heres the deal.Act 2100/fidanza flywheel both installed less than 10k ago.A month ago I installed a ss clutch line, slave/master cylinders, tob, tob clip, pivot ball and clutch fork.Bled it good (so I thought), and it drove great.So the other day, I get in the car and now it engages extremly high off the floor.Do a little research and see it might need adjustment.So I adjust it over and over and over again.Re bleed it and test it out.Now the clutch feels real spongy and It grabs real close to the floor.WHy is it doing this?Ari in the system?Still not adjusted right?Both?And why would it drive fine than all of the sudden the engagement be off?I dont get it.

Just for safe measure check all connections and make sure there are no leaks what so ever. Eliminate the clutch accumulator if you hav'nt done so already. Bleed the clutch one more time, adjust the pedal and hope for the best. If you have a buddy there at the time have him hold the clutch down and search the line from the master to the slave.

You replaced everything associated with the clutch system and your problem still exists?

I have personally seen this in two scenerios, 1 being when the flywheel bolts starting backing out (dont know how, they were torqued to spec with loc-tite) and 2, a couple months before my spun bearing possibly from the devil (im sure you know what I mean)

Hmmm...dont see how a spun bearing could be related to a clutch engagement issue.Unless my cranks walking...but its a brand new 6 bolt bottom end...less than 10k on it.So pretty sure thats not hit.I could check the flywheel I guess.

You've not found the proper adjustment point. Dick with it some more. And, bleed it three more times.

Yea, thats what i was getting at but it seems its not a concern with your 6 bolt anyways. I was just stating my personal experience ( with the old 7 bolt of coarse) besides bleeding the clutch over and over and adjusting the pedal.
