Clutch hydraulics failing multiple times?
As the title states, I’m wondering why/how my clutch hydraulics keep having issues. I still have about 10-20% clutch pressure left, which normally if it died, it would’ve hit 0% about, and I wouldn’t have any way of getting into gears without the car/engine off.
I’ve replaced the master cylinder twice already, with OEM parts (GM/AC Delco, Sach, FTE), as well as even replaced the factory clutch line with a stainless steel braided one. Replacing the line I thought, was a great bonus, as it kept the clutch pedal always feeling solid. I sheathed the clutch line in a titanium heat-resistant wrap, to prevent heat soak as well, for an extra measure.
I’m hoping that maybe something random, like the clutch slave cylinder bleeder bolt somehow came loose… But then wouldn’t it constantly be leaking, loose all hydraulic, and leave me stranded..? It doesn’t seem like so, because once again, my clutch fluid/master cylinder reservoir is chock full, and the clutch pedal is having issues. I have a clutch return spring as well, but you can immediately tell that all the clutch travel on top is pretty much just dead pedal.
Has anyone ever had clutch hydraulic issues this bad?? That’s gonna be my 3rd CMC within a year and a half since I got my 2010 SS. It still does have the bone stock CSC, I’m most likely assuming. I was debating on whether that was having issues. But usually after I bleed the clutch slave cylinder, it will give me a final tell on whether the clutch master cylinder is bad…
