Since I picked up my 90 GSX you had to go to the floor to disingage the clutch. Our 91 FWD TSI has never had the problem. After R&Ring the engine and transmission and bleading the clutch no change
so today when I was putting in the engine closeouts I took a good hard look at the slave cylinder, The banjo bolt where it attaches to the slave it is in at about a 90 degree angle(a perfect spot for a bubble of air to hange out.) You could here the air when the slave piston was bottomed out
The fix simple, A 14mm or a 9/16" box wrench crack the banjo open and depress the slave rod back into the bore. Tighten the banjo before you let go of the rod you can do it a couple of times to make sure you got it out but once should do it.
Also the reason the FWD cars don't have the problem the banjo is on the bottom of the slave so the odds of getting a slug of air is remote.
2G not sure if it is set up the same way
I hope that helps
