After my car warms up the the clutch pedal gets about 3x as stiff and will fully engauge at almost full travel. Also if I hold the clutch in at a stop light or something for about 15 seconds or more(rather than shifting into neutral), as soon as the pedal come off the floor the car will start to creep forward but again will not engauge untill it is almost fully out. After a little bit of highway driving the clutch will start to slip to the point were I will basically have to pull over and let it cool. I replaced the slave cylinder about a month ago, the master is about a year old, and I am not leaking any fluid. The clutch is a spec stage 2 kelvar unit with about 10k on it with a fidanza aluminum flywheel. Anyone have any suggestions to fix my lude? thanks

 

Seems like you have air in your system. Air bubles or something. Bleed the slave.

 

Thats what I thought too but I have bled it out like 5 times now and get a solid stream of fluid and no air.

air bubbles would make the pedal soft and stick to the floor. my clutch used to give me trouble when i used it for a long time (like highway driving or auto-x). replaced the clutch and the problem went away. what brand was the clutch? maybe the clutch is just that stiff.

 

The clutch is a stage 2 kevlar from spec clutch. When I first got it I never noticed that it would progressively get stiff the more you drove it. It only came about over the last 6k miles (installed for about 12k). The clutch is a little bit stiffer than stock which is as I would have expected but I didn't expect that it would start to slip once it got hot. I am hoping that it is not worn out due to street driving when it may be better suited to the track. Also is it possible that the clutch dampener could be bad? I don't know if the heating of the fluid would cause the seals in the dampener to expand and in turn allow fluid to slip by them. Any more input would be appreciated. Thanks.
