Default lose clutch pedal under power
Two times under hard acceleration my clutch pedal seemed to drop to the floor. The clutch did not disengage, it just seemed like the hydrolic line pressure went somewhere. When I back off, the pedal is back. I am using a Mcleod internal hydrolic clutch. Any ideas?

That's definitely pretty weird...

If you're not losing fluid, my best guess would be a defective clutch master cylinder.

Or... what if the concentric slave were mal-adjusted and the center was returning too far due to the acceleration? Can you pump up the clutch when this is happening?
