I need some assistant from you guys. I just replace the clutch on my Z with a combination of "ACT Prolite Flywheel" and "Competition Clutch". Everythhing was fine for a few hours after finishing the instal and test driving the car. But shortly after I started having problem shifting into gears and it came to find out that the "Slave Cylinder" had broken a seal and it was leaking oil. I just want to know if this incident is not something that I should worry about. I'm getting a new slave cylinder but I'm just worry that the high performance clutch maybe the culprit. Or do you guys think I'm missing something during the installation.

I need some help guys, please. I got a new slave cylinder that my mechanic replaced it and the car ran find for several hours and the morning after the installation, here I am with problems shifting gears again. Things to notice, the clutch pedal is almost to the floor, about 3 or 4 inches from the floor. I have to push the clutch pedal, real hard, to get to shift gears between 1 - 4 gear. Getting 5th, 6th and reverse it's immpossible. I hate to think that the slave cylinder went out again. Does anyone in this forum replaced their oem clutch with this "Competition Clutch" that THMOTORSPORTS sells and what is your experience.

I'm going to talk to my mechanic tomorrow about this issue. What do you guys think, should be the right approach to diagnose this problem. I don't know what kind of procedure my mechanic used during the installation.

oh ok,i thought you did this yourself. I'd bring it back to him to tell him what's going on. Then go from there.
