I finally got my car in the Nissan shop to get the ECM replaced and while it was there I had them do a complete clutch flush. They called it brake flush. I told them I had the clutch replaced and believed there was air trapped in the master or somewhere in the system. Long story short I fought them a little but they got it done and Im in love with the south bend clutch. I always like how quick it was to grab and how it worked but not the way it felt. Well now no more air. The pedal is firm, responsive, no more dead spots, spongy pedal, and goes into gear alot smoother. It cost me $132 with tax which i think its well worth it. I found out it had DOT 3 instead of DOT 4 thats why it would feel worst after driving the car in 80° + temperatures. So in conclusion it was a bad install cause of the wrong fluid and not properly bled. Thanks Joe for everything and for finding out what problem was.
