Changed master/slave cylinders and now what?

[Taylor3180]

I changed both the master and slave cylinders on the car. Now everyonce in a while I experience a stiff pedal and it seems to not want to disengage till the pedal is fully let out. After the first time I rebleed the clutch and all was fine for a while now I have that same stiff pedal back with the same disengage point if it disengages at all. Could I just have serious amounts of air still in the line, beacause like I said bleeding fixed this problem last time. Also should I have to adjust the clutch pedal? Because after the swap I loved how the clutch feld and where it engaged and disengaged. Now this damn pedal gets stiff and I hate it. Any help is greatly appreciated. And to top it off my local garage won't bleed my clutch for me because "we didn't do the work so why should we bleed it" A_HOLES! So through this entire process I have went from to to back to in just a mere 2 days. Plus could I need a new clutch ?

Air in the lines, usually lead to a squishy pedal that does nothing. You need to adjust the pedal and then tighten the locking nut. The reason it was good, then suddenly went bad is because the locking nut allowed the adjustment rod to back out. If the clutch grabs RIGHT off the floor, this is also another indication.

Other causes could be the soft clutch line, clutch pedal assembly, clutch fork/pivot ball and the clutch itself.

If adjustment doesn't help replace the above items in the order that I listed. This is the order of cheapest and least labor required route to the more expensive and more technical.

Its not hard to bleed a clutch, It should take less than 10 minutes.
