    Clutch master or clutch slave cylinder?

    My pedal sometimes sticks halfway depressing the pedal + the catch point is very low. When we did the 5-speed swap 2yrs ago, I replaced both slave & master w/ autozone duralast parts (needed the parts that day), so I was forced to go cheap.

    I haven't tried to bleed the clutch yet, but in the event that doesn't solve the issue, does anyone know if this could either be a clutch master or clutch slave issue?

      Usually when a master or slave goes bad it leaks fluid. Sometimes the master doesn't though. Do you have to top off the fluid now and then?

          Then I would guess air or master, could be wrong though :)

            You said in your initial post that you were going to do a bleed. Did that help at all, or have you gotten around to it yet?

              Bleeding the clutch made all the difference in the world! Have resistance now and grabs perfectly
