All,

I just had a new clutch (UMW GT3 RS 4.0 kit with LWFW which is incredible) and BBI GT2 slave conversion done to the car about a month ago. I took the car for a nice long drive yesterday with the local Porsche club, just interstate driving, so nothing rough. I started the car this morning and when I push the clutch in, the first I would say 1/4 travel fro. the top of the travel goes "limp" with hardly any resistance. Once the pedal gets further to the floor, the normal GT2 clutch feel comes back. I drove about 3 miles very easy and it seems to go away. Any diagnosis? Air bubble in the slave or something? It has been fine since today. For reference I also have the GT2 helper spring installed. I was wondering if maybe that was getting "stuck" by the way the pedal behaves. Other than that this, car is running great.

Thanks

Kevin

Sounds like you need to bleed the system "again"

Are you running DOT fluid in the clutch portion of the system?

Kevin,

Yes it was flushed and now running with DOT fluid in the clutch system. Think an air bubble? Strange it would just now show up if it was an air bubble.

Think this may be a master cylinder? Also failed to mention there is a slight squeek when the pedal is actuated.

This was solved by a new GT2 master cylinder and re-bleed.

When I purchased my car a couple months back, someone hadn't closed the fill lid completely on the reservoir or something like that. The line got air in it, and had to pump the pedal to make it work. Bleed and refill solved it.
