Default anyone ever have any problems with competition clutch's??

i started out with a competition stage 2 clutch on my set up. well soon as i put my turbo on, it started to slip, and engagement on the pedal was moving closer and closer to the ground. it would engage right off the ground, and eventually it would not fully disengage when the clutch was fully pushed in.

on that one i just assumed i was making too much power on that particular set up. well now i have a stage 4 competition clutch, its starting to do the same thing. the clutch holds the power fine, when the clutch pedal is fully released it bites hard. but engagement is starting happen right off the ground again. i even adjusted my clutch pedal to give me some more room.

what could be causing this to happen?? the master cylinder has less than 15,000 miles on it. the reason i don't feel its the master cylinder is because when i first installed the new clutch it felt great, it gave me just the right amount of movement before engaging. i really hope its not the clutch again. i don't think i can put my trust in competition clutch if it turns out the stage 4 isn't strong enough either

could i have installed the clutch wrong? whats there to mess up? i had a good inch of clutch pedal free play. i used the alignment tool. everything got torqued to manufacture spec. i resurfaced my flywheel.

TIA

It sounds like the hydraulic system is losing pressure. Check to see if your slave cylinder is leaking. The easiest way to do this is to place a piece of cardboard under your tranny overnight

sounds hydraulic to me too

look at your pedal assembly and look for brake fluid on the inside of the firewall. that would be your clutch master cylinder leaking. if not... leak is somewhere else. check soft line (especially the fittings) and the slave for leakage.

if you find leakage, repair then bleed, then do a nasty burnout
