clutch problems ( please help )

Ok, so I've already replaced the master, slave, flywheel,pressure plate, and the disc. Everything has been fine for a good month. And now my clutch is loose at the top and when you mash the gas and rip acouple gears. Clutch drops to the floor and there is a little bit of pressure. I'm able to pump it back up . But when you push the clutch in and out a couple times it drops to the floor again. Now there is no pressure and won't pump up again. Fluid is dirty. I've flushed that thing out twice a month ago when I redid my clutch ( because my master took a **** )
So any ideas? This is really frustrating

My guess is air in the line or failed master or slave. Were these replaced with new parts?

Fluid should not be dirty after a month. Suggests something has failed and caused debris in the system.

Everything but the hose was replaced a month ago.

I'd take it back to whoever did the work for you. This repair must be covered under some type of warranty.

Me and my friends did it. We made sure everything was good. Not to mention we dropped the tranny twice for master slave, then the next week later for the clutch slipping. And put new fluid in both twice

not sure if this is the problem, but the service manual states to replace the slave and master at the same time. and the slave should be replaced each time the gearbox is dropped. so if the slave gets replaced, so does the master. and then fluid re+re as well.

worst case scenario is you have to drop again and re+re both the slave and master, then the fluid again. but since you want to be 100% this time (and i don't blame you) i'd spend a bit more and get the aftermarket HD slave kit. this should rule out any future slave issues if you do the install properly.

Debris in the fluid must be coming from someplace... Either the master or the slave. Even if brand new, possible one has failed. Maybe something wasn't aligned correctly and cause premature wear....
