So my clutch wasn't grabbing worth a **** at the track, or after, then today the pedal got stuck on the floor.

Checked the fluid level, it was non-existent. (I had checked it before KC and it was where it should have been) So I put some brake fluid in there, and now it pops back up, but there is still alot of free play in it, and doesn't grab right away. The clutch is only like a month old. Whats going on?

leak anywhere? since you put more fluid in theres probably air in the lines somewhere..

I found no leaks.
I think my slave cylinder might be taking a dump?

check 240 forums for common clutch issues. dsms have an entire website dedicated to theirs.

get onder ur dash and see if you see any fluid leaking on the firewall from there the mast cylinder is then look at the slave and see if its leaking. more than likely right now you clutch system needs bleeding so try that too.

Yeah all the 240 forums say rebuild master cylinder, I'll see how much bleeding helps, i really hope that takes care of it.

A proper clutch job involves a new slave/master cylinder. keyword: proper. I just hope your gorgeous new sachs survived. It should.

clutch is fine for sure imo, try bleeding it because it might be a really slow leak that you only have to fill up every couple months, thus allowing you to skip any repairs! :)
