:iagree:

Check ZFDoc's website - he has a section on clutchs. Sounds like you might have a bad slave/master cylinder. My pedal is starting to feel mushy so I am replacing both this weekend.

:iagree:
Everyone reccomends replacing both at the same time.

BTW, vmi_vette, did you go to Virginia Military Institute (VMI)?

Has anyone had any luck with the rebuild kits for the master/slave cylinders?? A link for that ZF Doc site would be cool if anyone has it handy
