I concur with Randy.....try all of the above before tearing into the clutch. I too have the same set-up (I assume taht you do) from Southern Automotive, clutch, bellhousing, throw-out bearing, fork, and slave cylinder supplied from Southern Automotive mated to the master cylinder as supplied on the Superformance...When I test drove the completed car at the installer I had the same problem but not as sevier. The installer bled the system and that problem went away (so far).

The problem with my set-up is that the clutch pedal action feels mushy, hard to feel when the clutch engages. not as much pedal travel to go from the floor to fully engaged. My set-up in Supeformance 1158, with a stroked small block felt as good as any mechanical linkage, crisp and positive. I have not consulted Mr. Parham for his recommendations and troubleshooting techniques.

I would look into the slave cylinder first...I assume with the light car and the shift point around six grand the clutch should last forever. Even with drag radials the clutch should not be the weakest link.

Hope you resolve quickly and inexpensively and back to having fun........

Keep us posted
