UPDATE: I bled the fluid and it was so black, and filthy. Fluid was just bled 500 miles ago. This is clear indication of contaminated system. Car goes into reverse

UPDATE: I bled the fluid and it was so black, and filthy. Fluid was just bled 500 miles ago. This is clear indication of contaminated system. Car goes into reverse again and gears/pedal feel so firm, tight, and strong. Drove 50 miles, vibrations still present above 2500+rpm shifts. Come to a stop after driving 50 miles after clutch bleed, and pedal loses complete pressure....thought i was stranded

managed to pump pressure back just enough to get into 1st, nursed it home

get home, and clutch pedal is dead. Giant black puddle underneath....keep in mind I had replaced csc/cmc 4k miles ago. This tells me that the shop either 1. didnt replace the CMC and left old contaminated one 2. didn't bleed/flush lines properly because now my HD JWT CSC has failed in 4k miles after multiple bleeds....time to drop the trans. Putting in new clutch kit again might as well..im in $6k deep now...
