OK this is just getting sickening now. I have been playing around with the master cylinder adjustments to get the proper height but it seems like I just cant do it. Here is why:
right now when the car is cold the clutch begins to grip at about a 1/2 inch off the floor. however once it warms up its closer to about 2 or 3 inches off the floor?! When warm if I give it boost in 3rd or higher gear the clutch starts to slip.
What the hell is going on here? If I could just get a constant system I could have this thing working no problem... However because it grips differently when warm and cold I dont have enough of a range... If I set it any closer to the floor it *may* grip under WOT when warm however when I start it up I can't get the clutch to fully disenguage thus grinding gears (especially reverse) and putting undue wear on syncros (not something I want to do with my 300 mile old built TRE trans)... Any ideas what is going on here?
BTW, I just put in a new master and slave cylinder and bled the entire system, and it didnt do anything. I lengthened the slave cylinder rod which seemed to give me more room to adjust the master cylinder rod, however it did nothing to solve my real problem.
Its a clutch master pp with a act street disk. It used to do the same thing when I had my clutch master pp and clutch master disk (changed to a act disk after i smoked it out at the track)
Thanks in advance for all of the responses.
