Default still having problems here

Out for 1st day today.
I went to Bill's set-up and it worked fine until hot. Then grinding only in reverse when hot. When the car is cold there is no problem. I do have coated headers but no heat shields. Should I look at stroke and try to adjust? Only when hot.

Exclamation Just do it right.

You can try adjusting and assuming no real damage has been done, you might get away with it.

The parts are pretty cheap, it is either the slave, master or fluid. Just replace them all. If you fried the fluid and have not done damage to the slave or master the adjusting the clutch won't fix it.

Knowing what I know now, I'd would have moved the lines, installed the new version of the heat shields, wrapped the lines, installed Bill's new slave and a larger new master cylinder all at once. Doing it one at a time was a waste. I knew I had to change the fluid, it was pretty dark, but I did not realize that it could cause the slave to leak or the the "o" rings in the master to internally leak.

Basically, you may fix one issue and not realize that one or more of the other issues might have already begun. You fix one, it works for a while, but the other eventually fades. All the parts combined were less that $200 and it beats chasing your tail, trying to figure out what went wrong.

Good luck.
