pump your pedal a fwe times next time you ahve the issue.. watch it work a bit better.. im sure this is all it is.. if you wait to repair it, it may cost you your new clutch tho.

Bleed the clutch as mentioned it may not be getting full movement. Also the trans is harder to shift when cold, its been cold out in most areas.

700 miles is a long time for the slave to last with the JWT kit, Normally the stock slave blows out within 500 miles.

I would put my money on your slave is getting ready to leave you sitting.

How would I be able to tell if my slave is the problem or when it goes? How do I get one of yours if it's not on your site?

Wait a sec, isn't this the same one red350track has? If he has this SCS that you say will fix the problem how come he has this problem?

Here for the slave

"CSC" And we do not know what the problem with redtrack350's clutch is yet.
I believe it is install error or not bled properly or simply out of adjustment at the pedal. There are dozens and dozens of these kits out in use with all kinds of different clutches that work perfectly.

Not really expensive, Had you replaced it when you did your clutch as recommended it would have been a lot cheaper than what you are about to do now.

If you continue to drive with the clutch dragging you will ruin your transmission.

Also, it will leave you sitting with no clutch pressure at all shortly, That I guarantee

I have no idea why everyone is buying this JWT kit that blows the slave out within 500 miles

i recommend you get one, due to the fact that if you don't, your going to keep blowing the stock slave cylinders fast. Joe is right its highly unlikely that i got a bad slave, its either install error or maybe i got a defective pressure plate? Who knows i will keep everyone updated.
