help. new slave cyl broke
Broke my car last week at the track. Clutch went to the floor and fluid on the ground. Towed to a good friends shop and installed a new gm slave and added the tick performance remote bleeder. Picked the car up fronlm the shop drove it about 30 miles on the highway pulled off to get gas and as I pulled out if the gas station it broke again. Same symptoms and the first time.
Did the new slave go or is there a underlined problem here? Please help

I melted the slave cylinder on my headers the day after I installed them. Mechanic said if I had moved the slave cylinder hose a quarter inch away from the headers I would have been good. He also showed me on the hose where it got a pimple from touching the header and when I applied pressure pop. Just check and make sure it is not on your headers. I know that sounds stupid but it got me. Good luck, and hey, you know 3rd times the charm

Just jacked the car up. It does seem the hose was laying on the header and it burned through. Shop said they will cover everything. Stinks that the car will be down for another few days but **** happens. I will update when we get it tore apart. Thanks for the help guys.
