Having Weird Clutch Issues

[Asceph10]

My clutch is acting up on me and idk what it is.
Basically when i turn on the car on a cold start and i drive everything is fine! It pulls hard and drives very nice! By the time the car is fully heated up and i arrive where ever i am going and after im done i get back into the car like probably less then 30-40 minutes later the clutch pedal is very firm and hard to press and it slips out of gear right when boost kicks in. I called the previous owner and asked why this was happening and he said that there was probably air bubbles somewhere in the hydraulic clutch system, and he told me to bleed it. I bled it and everything was going great and then the problem came back the next day! I dont know what it could be at this point. Help Please!!!!!!!! And by the way this is my first gsx but i owned a 99 gs before!

Sounds like you may be having the infamous "pump up" issue. Try adjusting the master rod and see if that helps.

There is also an accumulator by the clutch slave cylinder that is notorious for holding air/bubbles that find there way there are take lots of bleeding to get out.

Sounds like pedal pump up like mentioned. I ran across that myself back in the day when I was trying to adjust my pedal height/freeplay. I over adjusted it and it worked, or so I thought. After driving it around town for a while it started slipping more and more until I was forced to pull over. Try checking your adjustment and also get some related repair history on the car.

As for bleeding the clutch, its not as easy as people think. Here's a link that may help you do or verify your bleeding procedure. How to Bleed a Hydraulic Clutch - Team Rip Engineering
