Spec Stage III, cant keep constant pedal pressure

[Harriz801]

When my motor was out of my car... i replaced my clutch with a SPEC Stage III clutch, when i put it back in the car i started to bleed the clutch and make sure everything is working fine.... the car will hold pedal pressure for about one minute and then loose everything... the clutch fluid is still at the proper level and everything worked on the car before i replaced the clutch... i noticed that the clutch line got bent around a little bit... could it be possible that there is a kink or a leak in this line... if so would alls i have to do is just replace it with a stainless stell one? Thanks for everyones help in advance.

Put on a stainless steel line. You will get better pressure than using the stock line.

Wipe all your lines and your slave cylinder clean and pump the clutch a dozen times. If you find fluid anywhere, that's where your pressure is going. Make sure that the master cylinder is not leaking either. One place to check that people overlook is actually inside the firewall. On the underside of your dash, you can see the master cylinder rod going through the firewall. Check for fluid leaks around this area. If you have any, you should replace the master cylinder right away, and do the slave while you're at it. Nothing worse than killing a DSM tranny due to a bad cylinder.

I have the SPEC III+ with a stainless line, and I can tell you that once you've got it set up right, you will be very happy. Grab is perfect and pedal pressure is just like stock once you get the SS line and delete the restrictor. If you get the clutch hot, it just grabs harder. Enjoy it.

^ this restrictor I've been hearing about; thats a 2g thing...right?

Yup. I've never seen a 1G with one. Although, the factory has been known to do some very strange things.
