Just actually told BRETT 49 who was having a clutch issue my story, and it feels like it might fit here better.

As I said in his post, check for leaks in the inside. Saw a leak from the seals of the piston rod. Couldnt really smell the fluid from the inside either, and definitely saw no sign underneath the hood.

my SR started doing this and after two boosters and master brake ( all junk yard) nothing helped so i ended up cleaning the living crap out of the master brake (The one that holds fluid) and used one of the boosters i cleaned up and my clutch came back to life. I kinda noticed that the old fluid holders get gunked up at the very bottom and keeps the fluid from flowing smoothly

mine does the same thing if you open your master and have someone press the clutch you will see bubbles I bet. I had a shop that works mainly on 240's tell me this

ok bled the system adjusted the rod and now the clutch is starting to slip under high torque, what could it be this is horrible the clutch disc, flywheel, and pressure plate only have 3k miles at most on them and i replaced the clutch pivot ball , fork, t.obearing,pilot bearing, and t.o bearing sleeve when i did the clutch change. also how do i go about checking all the reservoirs to clean them from all the gunk if that is even the problem is the brake booster the reservoir in between the smaller reservoir where the clutch is and the motor sorry if this sounds lame iam kinda new to these cars.

Break booster is the big round black thing on the firewall behind the reservoirs. Sending you a PM too...
