i put in a new slave, a new master bled the system the fork and t.o are moving, but when i baby the car the clutch feels fine, when i rev it up and shift at like 6k the clutch sticks to the floor and the clutch slips then i pick it up with my foot and it will grab again, also when i am at astop after gunning it i feel vibration in the clutch pedal and my gear shifter, iam hinting at the t.o bearing its a good brand its koyo ,

i also have a fidanaza lightweight, spec stg 2 plus, and act hd unsprung clutch if that helps.

You did grease up the t.o. fork etc and it moves correctly? Sounds like it may be getting hung up. Take a look at the fork, and make sure everything is in order, and the clip that holds the fork onto the fulcrum is as it should be.

Do you still have the dampener down by the slave in place? There is a valve in the box that gums up. take it out and buy a connector tubing, rebleed and try it again.

Just my .02

If you think the clutch is not fully disengaging you need to adjust the clutch pedal. Take a 6mm(?) open end wrench and turn the cltuch pedal brass rod (there is a slot cut into it) that connects to the master counter clockwise a few turns. The clutch should engage/disengage 1-3" down. Keep adjusting until you get it right, then tighten the locknut with a 12mm open end.

Be easy on her until you get this fixed, as you can burn out the clutch pretty fast.

This shouldn't cause the clutch to "stick to the floor" however. My clutch kept requiring readjustment. I took out that pos dampener box with the gummed up valve adn it finally started to behave itself. My local parts store sold me a 6" piece of connector tubing to reconnect the system.
