After the clutch swap from hell this winter, running into a new problem, now with the hydraulics.
I’ll bleed the clutch, then it takes 10-15 pedal pumps with the system closed to get full pressure back (which doesn’t seem right). After this clutch seems to work fine no matter how I drive it, then after sitting for a week or so, clutch starts out fine, then I lose pedal engagement until there’s basically no pressure and the clutch won’t disengage. It’s got a tick remote bleeder on it, and every time I bleed it there are a couple small bubbles, but I can’t see a leak or fluid anywhere. It has a Hinson modified wildwood master cylinder, and brand new slave, clutch disk, etc.
If it’s the master cylinder, what even are options at this point? I don’t think the Hinson MC’s are great, but they weren’t that expensive and it sounds like they aren’t making them anymore. I’m about ready to push the thing into the ocean and swear off manual transmissions.
