A&A is going to install a ACT set-up in my 03. Good to 850 with minimal increase in pedal pressure according to Andy. I'll post my feedback. Now if I just had that much HP!

I've tried the ranger method but i'm still having some hydraulic issues and i'd like to do a complete bleed.
Is there a link to a "how-to" of the arduous task of bleeding the clutch?....
The car only has 17K miles on it but when i got it the clutch master fluid was REALLY black and i hope the slave isn't screwed up.
Thanks!
Oh..this is a 2k C5 FRC.

If accumulated clutch dust has destroyedhe integrity of the seals in your clutch hydraulics, then no amount of clean fluid will heal them.
So clean the fluid thoroughly to the point that it remains clean after a drive. If pedal issues remain, the next step is replacing just the master cylinder using the most current part for your VIN. That will usually fix it.
From that point on, keep the fluid clean through frequent swaps.
If a new master doesn't restore a normal clutch pedal, then the fix gets more expensive and requires dropping the drive-train.

Just in case this was missed during any searches- here are some pic's of what GM decided to leave off. Pic's and product compliments of the supporting vender.
