Clutch problem....shiftng into gear is hard

[Scrmegl]

My 98 leaked into the foot well. MAP has a good deal on stainless lines. the goop inside my reservoir was the rubber seals going out in the master/slave cylinders.

Hey thanks for the contribution from everyone. I had to replace the master cylinder and bleed it. Everything works fine, back to normal. I'm thinking about getting a new clutch pretty soon. Along with all the belt done at 60000.

pretty low mileage non-turbo Eclipse. Whats your plans on your car? What to go faster?

I'm thinking I could possibly have the same problem. I was told before when my car was on a dyno that the clutch is starting to slip. I have since noticed that it is getting noticeably worse. I did a few 3rd gear pulls and I noticed the rpms shot up a lot faster than I was really accelerating. My car seemed to be fine to drive for a while as long as I didn't get on it much. But last time I drove my car (to the storage facility) I noticed the engage point was way close to the ground. It used to be right up top and I would barley push in the clutch to shift. Does this sound like I need just a clutch or a whole master cylinder? any advice?

thats what i posted in your other forum. if it slips at high RPM, its your line that goes to your slave cylinder which is under that is connected to your slave. Get that bolt on tight and your good. Next thing is Bleed your system after that! It will feel MUCH better! I had that problem!!

I was thinking about a rebuilt and go with turbo. Turboing a 420a sucks in a point. Thinking about getting the 4g63 and start my way up. I probably will go with bolts on and see what happen with my 420a. I've seen 1 or two people on dsmtuners that runs 14 mid/high.

How so?

And you won't get anywhere near 14's with just bolt-ons. You will actually have to go stand-alone fuel management and put in higher compression pistons and rods and definitely some headwork.

Yeah I know, but I didn't say that I will trying to run 14s with just bolt on. I remember someone in dsmtuners with a rebuilt 420a running 14's.
