Clutch is too light! And no its not a bleeding problem...
I have a brand new exedy organic clutch with a prolite flywheel and for some odd reason it still feels like my old worn clutch? what the hell...bled this **** like crazy. there is one thing...i am noticing that my slave cylinder seems to drain faster than the average cylinder. ive checked for any sign of leaks but there arent any...
and no just cus its a pretty much stock clutch...trust me this **** has to have more pressure than what i have. its not sagging...but its light and its not grippin' at all.

Yes, there IS a way that your slave cylinder can go bad...
And NO... there is NO WAY YOU CAN ADJUST HYDRO CLUTCH...
I tried it with some bleeding and pushing the fork more backwards and it was like I adjusted for 3 miles... after that it all went like it has been before...
Where are those NICE cable-days??? no squeeling, no fluids, no hassle, no leaks... just cable and whoooooooooaaaaaaa

you say this with such certainty.....which I find rather interesting.
As you can adjust the pedal freeplay on our hydro clutches. YOu should NEVER lose fluid from your resevoir, or you have a problem/leak somewhere...simple as that

Damn, beat me to it. You can adjust the clutch 'indirectly' at the base of the clutch pedal where it meets the firewall.
Have someone step on the clutch while you check the side-side motion of the shifter fork that holds the thorwout bearing.

Check your Clutch Master cylinder to. Just reach up under the dash where the clutch pedal is and see if the master cylinder is leaking onto the firewall anywhere or around the shaft that connects to the pedal.

When you bleed the clutch, pump like 3-4 times w/o going to the floor with the pedal. Then open the valve and push down about 1/2 way on the pedal. Do that maybe 8-10 times and it should be stiff.

Theres an adjustment screw behind the clutch pedal on the rod that goes to the master cylinder that can be adjusted.
