Now the monster billet support helps with after market clutches that have higher clamping and the stock slave support will fail over time...but the seals are the same so the same prob exists..

only true solution is an after market slave unit that addresses this specific issue. until then the frequent brake/clutch fluid exchanges work for me. good luck!

You know, the "compensation port" post actually explicitly states the CSC (clutch slave cylinder) will fail. The port itself is simply a feature of the master cylinder.



So you told someone they were wrong, and then stated exactly what they stated.


Anyway. If anyone with a V6 comes across this, I recommend against trying it. Even though the hydraulic system should be nearly identical (I also have an Ideal Garage SS master cylinder and a Monster twin disc + slave now), I tried removing the clutch assist spring with the stock clutch and with my twin disc and both times the clutch pedal consistency was gone and it never shifted quite right. My friend with a 15 GT gave me the ideal originally for the same reason the SS guys have stated, and his car with vs without the spring was an obvious improvement, which is why I tried it.


Funny, I've been doing the ranger method since I got the car though. The transmission gets so hot driving normally on the highway it seems like it just cooks the clutch fluid, but fresh fluid makes it drive perfectly again.
