Master or slave cylinder

[Blackbird1084]

Ok so last night I was running a buddy of mine when I went to shift to fourth and got nothing. The clutch has only the pressure of the spring holding it out. I could shift the car via rpm match shifting and while in gear, at wot, the clutch held fine with no signs of slipping. I got under the car and looked through the service hole and the slave cylinder was moving in and out ok. I then took off the master cylinder and tried to test it out. What seems to the most common problems for failures on these?

Usually it's the slave and caused by an aftermarket pressure plate with too much clamping force to overcome.

What clutch do you have and how long have you had it?

Bone stock clutch. I bought the car with 67k miles. It now has 152k.

Might be time for a new clutch. Other then that I would say slave cylinder

Do both. Get a new clutch and a new slave. Shotgun approach - refresh the whole setup.

I would love to get a spec 2+ but unfortunately I can't right now.

Those stock clutches are bulletproof just about!

You got 152k out of a clutch! Go with another stock clutch, they are working great for you. rockauto.com has several packages. New take off clutches come up on ebay for very reasonable prices.

Spec2+ have shown not to be a good choice in these cars

I've a spec 3 and it's great..need a leg like Arnold.!!..but had it in since 2010 and I have done a load of track days and just normal driving,changed my gearbox but not it and it still grips well..best clutch for doing burnouts me thinks..

Dang I was hoping the 2+ would have been a better choice. I had a stage 3 spec on my SRT and it worked great. I might go back with one of those then.

The 3+ has proven solid

Although different platform the 3+ on my 4.0 was great, the 2+ is kinda junk on the 4.0 as well.

Exedy Mach 400 here, stock-like and lovin it with my D1!

Well it's not the master cylinder. Had a friend give me one off of his old car. Still doesn't work. So now it's either the slave or the clutch.

This is what I put when I did my auto to manual swap.. Love the damn clutch kit, pedal is light as hell and it does great with hard driving so far. only about 5,000 miles into it though.
