    Did you check to make sure the rod is still in the cup on the Clutch Fork, and the fork is still attached to the TO bearing??

    If the pedal is just sitting on the floor you either have air in the system, the pedal isnt attached to the Clutch Master Cylinder, the Slave cylinder isnt attached to the Clutch Fork, the fork has fallen off of the pivot ball or TO bearing. Have him check to make sure the fork is positioned correctly. Are you sure you didn't break the clutch fingers (Unlikely but u never know) and theres nothing there for the TO bearing to press upon? And its always possible that you got bad parts from stock.


    What were you doing when the pedal originally went to the floor?

    ill have him check all that monday, we're pulling the tranny out next week to check everything over..
    and we were hopin it was bad parts, so we got extras of each part still no luck.

    but wen the clutch hit the floor i was just hittin the clutch to put it in nuetral to slow down coming off an exit.. the clutch hasnt been thrashed, i havent tried drifting it or done any serious beating on the clutch at all.. :-?
