UGH, never ends.

Now im having clutch issues again. the pedal goes to the floor after sitting parked for a while. gotta pump the pedal to get pressure built up.

I just replaced the slave cylinder about 6mo ago, looks like the master may have gone now as well. good thing i have one in the trunk lol.

yea levels are good. hmm i didnt really think the new one would have failed already. :\ it is just an autozone generic tho, so it is possible

yeah its a good idea to replace them at the same time for that reason. also the new slave is gonna be harder on the old master. thats pry why it started to fail now rather than before. time to get on ebay lol

DOH, didnt even think of that. i do have a brand new master in my trunk. bought the same time as the slave, but i only replaced the slave. bleeding seemed to do the trick. at least for now, i'll check it in a few hours and see if it still has pressure....i should just flush the system, get a new slave and master and braided lines and be done with it.
