Default clutch barely passing

act stage 3 clutch kit wirh about 20% life left
Bled the clutch yesterday because it wasnt even going in gear.

Now it barely goes in gear

I have to press all the way to get it in gear
Pedal feels soft for about 60-70% of travel then i feel pressure like it is with srage 3 clutch
And it barely goes in gear at that point.

Is it slave or master cylinder problem?

I dont want to throw money away for part swapping.
Pressure plate looked good when i took it apart

Broken clutch release arm? I broke one with a Clutchmasters stage 1 on a D series and had similar symptoms. They crack right a the pivot ball.

I also had a problem bleeding the clutch on my last tranny swap. For whatever reason, gravity bleed was the only way to bring it back and it's been fine ever since.

As the disc wears, the clutch point will move towards the floor. (this is caused by the fingers moving outward as the disc wears.)

If a hydraulic problem exists, if you hold it to the floor, the car will slowly creep if you are in gear. If not, your clutch is too worn, or your flywheel surface/fork is not in the correct position in relation to the arm. This can also mean the arm itself is bent.

yea the disc is worn which is strange its worn more on the side facing the pressure plate

and the pedal feels noo pressure at all until about 60-70% travel then it gets really stiff and i have to press all the way to the floor to shift

my friend told me the new stage 3 clutches are not as stiff. mine is from 2006

actually its the AI4-XTSS clutch kit
