Not really - what should I be looking for?
When I took the last master out, the pedal is either all the way at the top or all the way at the bottom. If the pedal is at the top and you push it, it will snap down to the floor and vice-versa. Is that the way it should be?

Yes, the pedal should do that, and not hold anywhere in the middle. I'll call my old man at lunch and see what he say. You wanna make a trip to FL?Mugen Mike wrote:Not really - what should I be looking for?

I guess you would be looking for anything out of the ordinary..
Mike, just got off the phone with the "man" he wants to know if the fluid level in the res. is dropping? We know it's a leak, it's got to be. Now the question is where. Have you pulled back the dust boot on the trans where the line goes into it (having a brain fart, can't remember the name of that damn thing) That's his first guess. If not, I'll PM you his phone number so you can talk to him directly. HTH.

If the fluid level is dropping, it isn't significant enough to notice.
It definitely seems like a leak, but why is there no fluid around any of the connections?!
We have not removed that boot to inspect the area around the slave cylinder, although the slave has been replaced.

Now, the tech. After doing the brakes on the ITR, front calipers and SS lines all around. We bled the complete brake system, we never touched the Clutch master, however when we were done with everything I had no clutch pedal. At that point we were kind of in a rush and myself, my friend P, and Mr Sakai were stumped. Alot of WTF's and cigarettes and we decided to just bleed the clutch and everything was fine
This was a problem I had awhile ago. Something wasnt right with the slave, we ended up messing with it and bled the system and it worked.

So after overhauling your brakes you had no clutch pedal pressure?walker111 wrote:Now, the tech. After doing the brakes on the ITR, front calipers and SS lines all around.

Correct! But we took the slave cylinder off and realligned it and bled the system and it was good. We took the boot off of the trans, just so we could see what we were doing. I still have no clue why it happened but its fixed now... Thats not too much helpMugen Mike wrote:So after overhauling your brakes you had no clutch pedal pressure?walker111 wrote:Now, the tech.

There's definitely no fluid leaking from the master, I've had my head up the underside of the dash quite a bit lately.Dave B wrote:Yes yes, the slave. Now was about on the back of the MC. Any fluid under the dash on that side? Carpet wet a little bit there? If not, and I'm shooting blanks... Then he can call the old man directly.
