Clutch, Slave, Master Or Tranny?

So, I adjusted the master this afternoon (according to the video), and noticed a good change, but then went out for a drive and after a little while it went back to being tough to shift. I guess I'm going to try and replace the master hopefully tomorrow. It would make more since to do everything possible, before having to take the trans off again. I'm going to do that, and of course rebleed the system.

Side note: The way I bleed it, is a buddy will sit in the car and pump it up, then hold the pedal down all the way to the floor. I then crack the bleeder, and then tighten it back up, and have him pump it up again. That is the right way isnt it?

Yes, but make sure you tighten that bleeder screw before he lets off that pedal. He should have to pull the pedal up on his own.

Are you also bleeding the slave? Push the rod in with your hand as far as it allows, and crack the bleeder again, closing it before you let off the slave rod.

A quick way to check the master is to look under the dash at the boot and see if it's wet or looks like fluid leaking out.
