2g "Ghost Pedal" Help

[mattdev]

I'm pretty sure I'm suffering w/ what RRE calls "Ghost Pedal".
here

My pedal ONLY sticks on very light pressure. I replaced slave and leaking clutch line, wich fixed a lot of my problem.

The thing that bothers me, is I have a 3 month old master cylinder. It's practically NEW! It was professionally installed also, and I have moved since it was installed. Is there another possibility, or am I in for a new NEW master cylinder?

Was the system properly bled?
And if by any chances you've replaced your clutch, maybe you need a longer push rod which you can find on e-bay for like $12.00 shipped and all

Is it sticking or falling to the floor? I would try bleeding the clutch again.....

Dont forget to have a friend watch the reservoir for you so you dont suck air in ;-)

It's been bled correctly about 5 times now. And yes, it was just changed (ACT 2600). It will suck itself to the floor, it doen't simply stick on an engagement. If I give it light pressure, it will suck to the floor and stay there, all by itself. I haven't looked into a longer push rod, but that doesn't sound like the problem. I'll search it... Keep throwing in options. To make it perfectly clear, it is showing every symptom of "ghost pedal". I just don't wanna drop another 80 buks to not fix the problem.

I've never heard of "ghost pedal" but it sure sounds like air in the line. Sometimes, you need to remove the slave and hold it above the master in order to get every little air bubble out of the line. You can get the slave out easier if you remove the 2 front engine mount bolts, slip the clutch line underneath & out.

For the records, changing the master fixed this problem. (For anyone who may seach this...) I do have a slight case of pump up, but it will not stick anymore. Kudos to RRE!!!

I hope you can get a refund for the other one. You said it was only 3mo old?
