Help!
Guys, I am confused. I put a new cnc clutch master cylinder in my car. I put a new (pantera specific) clutch from one of the vendors in my car with a new flywheel and throwout bearing. I made sure there was freeplay at the lever and the throwout bearing was not riding on the fingers of the pressure plate. I put in a new long throw slave cylinder from another vendor and a new steel braided line from the hard line to the clutch slave. When I bleed the clutch, the pedal pressure gets really stiff and the master cylinder develops an internal leak. I rebuild it, check the lines for kinks and try again, only to go through the same thing. There is good pressure at the slave cylinder. The clutch does engage but very slowly. when the internal leak at the master cylinder occurs the slave does not hold pressure. Three master cylinders later and repeated checks for kinks, leaks or anything and I am confused... Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks!
Marc
