hi guys, just wondering if someone might be able to shed some light on this problem i've just run into.

i just had my clutch and slave cylinder replaced last week, and the freakin thing is slipping already. i probably got about 100 miles on it before it started. i followed the recommended break in specs to the letter, did'nt beat it at all. all of a sudden today it starts slipping really bad. i pulled into a gas station and cracked open the clutch bleeder, air came out for a second before any fluid, then i tightened it back up. got in and it was driving fine again, so i opted to drive it home. the last mile or so home i noticed it started slipping again.

so does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? is there any kind of check valve somewhere in the system that could be stuck or something? i'm at a loss as everything in the clutch system is brand new, including the master cylinder. i had the flywheel resurfaced as well. any input on this would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

how does the clutch pedal feel? sounds like you did everything by the book, i once had a fluke slave not function right out of the box brand new.

Check for any wet spots where air/fluid could be leaking out, then check the hyd. line connections. Then try bleeding it with one of those one man hand held vacuum pump bleeding tools, and keep a careful eye on the resevoir.
