Hello! When I depress the clutch pedal, I hear a squishing noise. And often there is chatter. Some research led me to a teggy board where a guy said he replaced his slave cylinder and it went away, but I just replaced the slave a year ago when the entire clutch job was done, including flywheel. So is it a good possibility I should replace the slave again? The master was done at that time too.

Also, this may tie into my other clutch issue. When I park the car nose up on a hill or steep incline, when I drive it next the clutch engages much quicker and smoother than usual and the chatter is completely gone. It returns to the longer pedal engagement and chatter within a couple hours. Which makes me think maybe the incline is pushing air bubbles out? And subsequent driving is getting air back in?

Which leads to my final issue. On a hot day, especially with the a/c on, in stop go traffic or around town, the pedal will get very heavy, to the point where the release is super slow and it causes slipping under acceleration.

I'm thinking all 3 of these minor things are being caused by some hydraulic issue, however I've bled the clutch myself and had a shop do it, which seems to fix the problem for a day until it returns.

Any ideas? Should I be looking for a kink or leak in the hardlines perhaps? I'm hoping someone has seen these symptoms before all together.

I bet you have a leak somewhere which is allowing air to get into the system...

That'd be my guess too. Mechanically, the clutch feels great. I'm gonna take it by Aamco and have them check it out since the one here is well regarded. They should be able to pinpoint any leak quickly.
