#7806, "Somestimes clutch pedal freeplay, sometimes not."
hey everyone, just installed my FE stage 5 SBC a week ago and a few days ago my freeplay just went nuts in the pedal. About 3/4 of the total pedal travel was freeplay but clutch was still functioning properly and shifting fine. After i pump it a couple times it goes back to normal and the clutch fully disengages almost at the top. This normal for this clutch? I have read other posts on here about people and their CM stage 4 but i wanted to hear from other SBC FE users. Anyway, not my main questions. Could the random freeplay be the slave cylinder taking a shit or what? Am thinking about doing the restrictor mod this week also. My friend said maybe slave was takin a shit. What do you guys think? Thanks Cameron

well we bled it alot when we got everything back together but will try again tomorrow. synthetic dot 3 fluid shouldnt matter right? it did make the pedal really soft with the synthetic fluid

ok well I bled the clutch again. no difference. master cylinder is leaking up under the dash too so it looks like I'll be getting slave and master
