So driving home today...normally, not boosting...I pull away from a red-light and almost stall. I thought to myself "that's weird?" Then I notice there's only so little pressure maybe for an inch off the ground and then after that, there is no pressure. At one point, it was stuck to the ground.

Does this mean my Master Cylinder is bad?

I already have the upgraded CSC. I can't fuggin win!!

sounds like it, I am waiting for mine to go as well. now that I'm not boosting this stage 4 clutch/pressure plate seems like a bad idea.

Sounds like the master cylinder. As soon as I got my car running after adding the turbos mine went bad as well. Got it replaced under warranty though and has been fine since

How did you get it covered under warranty?

It's a known issue. They may or may not feel like being nice, but it's worth an ask

Like Red_Zed was saying, it's a fairly common issue I guess. Jason brought it in for me and since he works with the dealership quite a bit, they treat him pretty well. Mine didn't even have the front bumper on at the time, so it was pretty clear the car was modified lol.

RCZ · 08-27-2011, 11:33 AM

got mine covered too

98intrigue · 08-27-2011, 11:55 AM

I'll have to give it a shot and hope I have the luck you guys have had. I drove it to breakfast this morning and it was better.

roplusbee · 08-28-2011, 12:05 AM

Ummm, huh? You have the Southbend or Zspeed CSC? Have you checked for leakage? Wassup with the GREMLINS and YOUR CAR dude? Beat'em off with a stick if you have to. You are making me nervous......

Hopefully, you can get some warranty work done and your ride will be back to shredding pavement.

Ron · 08-28-2011, 12:11 AM

There isn't a southbend CSC, only Zspeed makes them. The only other type of CSC are the ones made for OS Giken clutches.

Are you sure about that? I contacted them myself about the all metal CSC and they said that they make one for our application. It isn't on their website though. I am sure that there are others, but I stopped looking once I found Southbend and Zspeed.

Zerolift has been working with Competition Clutch to get an alternative to the OS Giken Twin Plate that should be released soon (or may be available now), but I will know for sure once I get my invoice and track down the parts listed. Thanks for the input though.........

I have an ACT 6-puck clutch, Fidanza flywheel, and the ZSpeed HD CSC. I drove the car last night and the clutch was back to normal pressure. Even boosted it a few times and no problems? I'm going to be stupid and take it to the 1/4 mile Thursday as long as it doesn't rain.... My boost gauge showed 11.9psi last night

Mine does something similar. Full pedal feel in the morning, afternoon trip only a few inches of pedal. By the time I get back home, I'm back up to full pedal feel. I suspect its the master cylinder

I'm going to have to try and get the dealer to warranty it too.
