Default Act clutch trouble...

Recently bought an HDSS kit Stage 2, (around August) from VTP. Bought the right fly wheel, put the new tranny in there (installed by Dragnwagon and me) , now the pedal feel has all but gone, its not as strong as it use to be. Im only guessing that my pressure plate is about to take a dump on me.

The fluid level is fine and im only guessing that bleeding the lines wont help, sence it was fine at first now it sucks.

So has anyone had this problem? Or is it act?

I tryed adjusting the clutch and nothing seemed to affect the clutch... I did search and nothing really helped me out in this situation.

Also found out that my master cylinder has a small leak when I was adjusting the clutch. Would that cause this problem?

I would bleed the whole system, and yes that leak is not good.

leak is your problem... it's kinda hard to bleed a leaky system (sarcasm)

How hard is it to fix the leak? Or do I have to replace the MC? Can I still bleed the system with the leak?

you can but you won't accomplish a good bleed... if fluid can escape (leak), air can enter... which you're trying to do when bleeding (getting rid of all the air). find out what's causing the leak... bad master cylinder, corroded line, stripped fitting, etc... and fix that first. then bleed and continue troubleshooting to find your clutch problem because that leak might fix it and you don't have to go any further.

On a scale of 1-10 how hard is it to replace the master cylinder? Any clue how much a master cylinder will run me?

the master cylinder is around a 2 to replace. if you are smart enough to put in a clutch then a master cylinder would be no problem

two bolts at the firewall, one cotter pin, a couple of lines one rubber one hard and thats it
