Default hydraulic clutch problems
I just connected my hydraulic slave clutch and it does not appear that the clutch is releasing when pressing the pedal. Any thoughts. chuck

Sound like it has not been bled properly. Slaves can be an SOB to get primed and bled. You may have to crack the bleader nut at the slave and let gravity do its thing over night. Just dont let the master run dry or you will have to do it over again.

Did you remove the clips on your clutch after tightening it down? Steve
