Just took a bit longer than I thought because of the stupid clutch line flare nut being stuck, but nothing a micro torch couldn't provoke loose. 
Worst part was I tipped the end of the tranny by accident, and spilled what must have been a quart of fluid. Whoops. Had to make a trip to AutoZone for some Mobil-1 75w-90 for now, but later I'll have some Redline oil in there.
In any case, speaking of the master cylinder, I found some funny behavior - I'm 300 miles into break in, so I still have some miles left, but sometimes, the pedal will be soft until halfway down, where it becomes hard again. And after a few clutch ins, the pedal will be normal again, where it is hard all the way through the travel. Is this a sign of failing CMC? Or is it just that it's gonna be wonky until it's more broken in?
Also, wouldn't getting an OEM CMC just have the same issue? |
Try bleeding it.
My clutch would start out firm (or so I thought) and after a short drive I would experience what you described. Soft pedal until half way to the floor. The pedal would come back after the car sat for a few hours.
I replaced the CMC and it has been perfect. The pedal is more firm than original, and the firm feel starts within .5"-1" of taking up the slack.
