Clutch pedal engagement point changing
Any one had any problems from theirs? Mine will randomly engage near the floor, but usually engages up top. Can't pinpoint what circumstance is causing it. I do have the t-56, so the slave cylinder is not original. It's too random for me to try pinching of the line to separate the master and slave cylinder. I flushed the fluid today in hopes that it was water logged, but it didn't help at all. I'm pretty sure it's the master cylinder, but figured I'd get some input. This Thing is tricky to drive with a solid hub clutch when you don't know when it's gonna engage. Thanks

My master went out, and did the same thing. Sounds like it. POS is made of plastic and cost over $100 from the stealer-ships.

Sounds like the master, but could be the slave. More like the master.

I'd imagine if the slave was bad, it'd have to be leaking. The master cylinder on the other hand could be bypassing. I've seen it a bunch of times at work, just never so random. Honestly, Ive been wondering if it could have anything to do with it using a slave cylinder not designed for it. Possibly putting too much strain on it, or somehow overextending the plunger. I'll be putting a new one on any how, but at less than 40k, it seems strange. Odd thing is, it happened as soon as the body shop gave it back. Before then, it worked perfectly. Prolly got contaminated from those morons leaving the master cylinder cap off while spraying the right front fender.

My Master had slight brake fluid around its housing, after it started grabbing funny, in the middle of a drift comp.
It came and went on the way home, and seemed to be made worse, if i pressed the clutch rapidly. My master had...assuming its never been replaced in its first 115k miles of life....155k on it when it crapped out.
