Stage 4 comp clutch and LW FW install

hey guys I just installed a stage 4 competition clutch as well as a 17lb lightweight flywheel! I drove it for about 550-600 miles to break it in. I had a lot of chatter, as expected due to the flywheel. But suddenly, my clutch didn’t come back to the top and I looked under my car to discover all of my clutch fluid on the asfault. I haven’t looked yet but do you guys think it’s just a clutch line? And also with my new parts, are there any other parts that I should upgrade to meet the demands of my stage 4 clutch? Thanks y’all!

I'm no expert, but I feel like if all your fluid is on the ground, I'd consider checking the lines going to the reservoir. Was there still fluid in the reservoir?

Either the connection at the slave blew or the slave itself.

yes! It’s leaking through the bell housing, making me believe that it’s the slave foresure. Do these usually go out? The brake fluid flows out pretty fast too

Yes, common issue on these cars.. Replace with a HD version or there's a concentric slave eliminate kit (z1?) available. The latter converts it to a traditional external mounted slave so no issues if it fails again.
