98 eclipse gst.. Original problem, clutch pedal sucked to floor randomly, wouldn't come all the way back up on it's own, an slipped in high gear when building boost. First fix, replaced both clutch cylinders. Now after replacing cylinders clutch slips with just increased throttle an it still will not come all the way out... It feels like clutch doesn't fully disengage... I have no idea what else to do an don't wanna replace clutch but if I have to I will... Let me know what u guys think any help greatly appreciated:confused:
 
Sounds like you have a leak in your system. When your clutch goes you'll be able to grab gears easily, you just wont go anywhere. A leak in your hardline or a bad master/slave will cause you to loose pedal pressure and not be able to go through the gears.

I was vouching for a clutch going out within a day or two. I keep my lines bleed, and nothing was leaking, new cylinders.
Not a bad hypothesis you have there. However, I was actually missing the trans dowel pins and it was causing my clutches to fall apart every 2 months. :)

Good to know she's back up Maroon

Bleeding the clutch should have nothing to do with it slipping. As stated, as long as the master is not adjusted to far with pressure on the slave before the pedal is depressed it can only be the worn out clutch.



This sounds like a good idea. I’m sure it got worse with the new hydraulics because it working like it should now. As long as it is adjusted properly I would think you have anything to worry about after the new clutch. What are you thinking for a clutch kit? We can help you pick a quality proven setup for your goals.

I just put in a stage two ceramic sic puck clutch master clutch was that a good option to pick
