Just installed a new competition clutch stage 2 with lightened flywheel. I couldn't get good pedal pressure (02a). Got a new master/slave and bleed the system... still have that weird pedal problem. And when I try geting into gear with the clutch fully pressed in I can't. It's like the clutch isn't fully pressed in... I've checked the pedal assembly, rebled the system many times but still I can't get into gear when the car is running without forcing it in.
Am I missing something here?

It sounds like you still have air in the line or the clutch is not engaging enough. How are you bleeding the clutch? I have had the best luck with a vacuum bleeder, works like a charm.

I have a vaccuum bleeder also... But I can't seem to be 100% sure that all the air is out... are theses hydrolic systems prone to keep air in? are there any thumb tricks in getting all the air out?
Thanks

I've bled the system again... changed the feed line to the master... now I am 100% there is no more air in the system... The clutch grabs way low onto the floor... I can shift between gears pretty well but still when I run the car more than 5-10 minutes I start loosing the pedal and I can't get into gears... the pedal is littirally on the floor... is there a way to increase the pedal travel? letting the pedal grab higher would certainly help...
Someone told me that I could have put the clutch disk backwards... could this be the symptoms of backward clutch disk?
