you need to bleed the whole system until fresh fluid comes out of the bleeder. not sure if my videos will help you but the first page of this thread has video links you can check out.

Thanks again, I do appreciate all your help!

what issues are you having? did you bleed the system really good and make sure you got all the air out?

Yeah, the system was bled and vacuumed.
Grinding, sticking, clutch not disengaging, you name it i have experienced it.

This is by far the worst hydraulic, clutch, and transmission setup i have experienced. Wish i still had my cable driven clutch and transmission that was in my cobra.

Your right about that, I agree. If your still using the stock clutch i recommend you change it.

How's everyone been?

Are we enjoying our Camaro's?

Are we still happy with our Modified Clutch Master Cylinders?

I have a little over 20k miles on the master with no issues. Sometimes I think the slave might be going out. Since I have no reason to upgrade the clutch I see no reason to take it apart.

Your mast cylinder is a great non intrusive factory feel mod. Never any second gear grind. I do sometime have issues getting it out of gear as if the clutch/slave is sticking and won't release. Should I try to get any more additional bubbles out of the system? Surely at this point they would have surfaced...

It's possible your slave cylinder is going bad

I have a question about bleeding the clutch. I know that when I did my MGW shifter I took off the trans cross member and it allow the trans to drop some in order to barely get my fingers in to get the shifter out. So, I was wondering if I could do the same and maybe get enough room to install a remote bleeder and/or without a remote bleeder would that allow easier access to the bleeder on the top of the trans?
