Dunno if this is a "no no" thread but Ill give it a shot.

Quite a few people have hit me up through 8wayrun to get advice and questions on your Hot Rods. There is a reason why they call me Hot Rod Dave, Ive been doing this shit since I was 8 years old, Have done everything from sweep the shop, played mechanic, running the business side, owning my own shop and now machine work

I make this thread to offer my services. If anyone has any questions or needs advice on whats wrong with thier car, Id love to help. I can ship parts to anywhere in the country and let you know if someone else is ripping you off.

The following are my specialties:

Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX Turbo AWD... Clutch is being a bitch, Losing pressure, always falls to the floor, replaced master cylinder still didnt do shit... LoL but you didnt say clutch was your speciality... FUCK ~!

Grinding gears and shoving it in gear at the right RPM is really getting old though, then it will magiclly build pressure back up again and pop back up otherwise i got to pull the bitch up with my foot...

Im seriously tired of this damn car... LoL its so pretty and fast though :(

Good car, but just not my style. When you get a cool car like a mustnag or something then Ill say your totally cool.

I suspect you have 1 of 2 problems

#1 Your slave cylinder is wiped out. Older mits had them externally on the tranny not sure bout yours

#2 You have air in the line cause you didnt bleed it properly. Or you have a small pin hole in your clutch hose, but you SHOULDVE noticed low fluid levels in your master.

The reason your pedal doesnt wanna return up is because the master/slave combo is not maintaining constant pressure, If youve tried a new master with no results, then Id say your slave took a shit *looks up price for a slave*........I can ship you one would cost around $30 WITH shipping.

EDIT: Found one....Its external...2 bolts and a pressure line and is off. Try bleeding the fuck out of it again. crack the bleeder open on the slave, take the cap OFF the master cylinder and let it DRIP (one drop per 30 seconds is ideal) and let it bleed over night. see if it helps any!!

my 97 chevy s10 used to do that sporadically. like rod said, my problem was pressure in the lines...or lack thereof. turned out i did in fact have a pinhole and had to pay someone to fix it. :(

also dave, thanks for the 66 tip. i fucked around revving it with some starter fluid and sure enough it was a bad gasket under the carburetor. replaced the gasket and now it punches like a champion!
