Clutch issue... - 9/2/2008 7:02:59 PM    TheAdvocate Posts: 2321 Score: 0 Joined: 8/18/2005 From: Baraboo, WI Status: offline Ive never dealt with this until now..  But while driving for long distances on the interstate/hwy, when I go to push in the clutch I lose pressure and it acts as if its not disengaging..  This will also happen if I let the car sit for a week..   Ill have to pump the clutch to build up pressure or bleed the clutch line..   Im not losing fluid anywhere, the master isnt leaking, nor is the slave.  However, the clutch fluid looks really dirty, even after just bleeding it and refilling the resevoir.  Any deal with this before, or any thoughts?  I have a few but I would like some others before I just start trying stuff. _____________________________ -Project 99 GSX- Built 6 bolt Crower rods ross pistons Built Head FP3x Cams Venom Intake AEM Fuel Rail 850 Injectors *Looking for Sponsors* Post #: 1
