I used a few feet of fuel tubing from the local hobby shop, cut to desired length. Its stretchy silicone hose that fits snug on the bleed fittings. Plus you can get it in wacky colors lol

I don't believe it's pressure plate torque but it might be that some foreign object was lodged between the pressure plate and flywheel when you torqued it. It may also be some sort of manufacturing defect. It seems like you would feel that in the pedal. That's what makes no sense to me. Unfortunately, it boils down to getting in there an carefully removing the pressure plate again. Look for any signs of failure including, fasteners, contamination, pressure plate itself, installation misalignment... Then when you don't find anything wrong, install a known good (not hopefully good) pressure plate and test. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let us know if you get any air out of the system. I'm very skeptical about this.

Why would any of this be RPM dependent though. If it were something stuck or contamination, the effect would be there at idle, but just compound itself higher in the rev range, I think. It's not a bad clutch system, ACT SB7-XTSS, so I'd think it would be a known good system. I won't get fluid until Wednesday, so bleeding will have to wait until then.

Not to throw a wrench into it, but not all clutches are manufactured as precisely as we would hope. Several years ago a friend had a brand new Spec clutch that had a PP machined WAAAY too far, like, 1/4" was removed. On visual inspection it looked fine, but there was virtually zero pressure after break in and it slipped after a couple hundred miles. Just saying, sometimes BS gets past QA.
Anyways, I would also recommend checking the slave/fork at 5k in neutral, maybe wear earplugs because noisy engine is noisy. Just see what's happening there. If the fork is getting limp, then that likely means something in the clutch assembly is moving. If the slave cylinder gets limp, then the problem is hydraulic. I can't wrap my head around the relationship to RPM unless the vibrations are causing a crack/seal to lose pressure. Also check the hudraulic fittings to make sure they're all nice and tight. |

Why two .....?? Because, I found out a long time ago that if I just get one ...... the correct size will be the other one ...... Maybe the nipple on the brakes will be the same ...... but don't bet on it ..... humfrz |

I know the clutch slave bleeder is smaller... 7 or 8mm IIRC...

*virtual dope slap* The only known good system is the one you knew was working before this swap. If you tossed it then you have 2 choices: 1. Hope you find an obvious cause upon inspecting your upgrade plate. 2. Roll the dice on a new OEM one or find a friend who didn't toss his. This is why old wrenchers (pointing at myself) end up with a garage full of used shit. I need to throw out parts to cars I no longer own.

Here's my list of shit to do: 1) Adjust pedal position to see if problem persists to the floor like it currently is. I want to know if the "limp" space is constant, or if it scales based on pedal catch location at idle. If it's constant and I move the catch position to half pedal throw at idle, then at 5K+ I basically won't be able to disengage the clutch at all. If it scales it back and always allows me to shift at the floor at redline, then idk what that means. 2) Bleed/flush the system. I'm just gonna fill it with DOT4 since I was going to do that anyway. 3) Wait on ACT's engineers who now know of the problem since I called them today (I hope they Google around and see the threads you linked or even this one now) to see if they can think up a solution that we haven't already dreamed up.

BTW, 1/4" fuel line is somewhat loose over the bleeder nipple. It fits, just not snug. 3/8" would have eaten the valve for dinner.

Brings to mind the time my F-250 stopped (like it was out of gas) about a 1/2 mile from a Ford dealership. I determined it was a failed fuel pump ..... because no gas was getting up to the carburetor. It was a hot humid day in Missouri, but smelling of gas, carrying my old fuel pump, I walked to the dealership and purchased a genuine Ford remanufactured fuel pump. After lots of sweating and cussing, I replaced the fuel pump. The damn truck still wouldn't run (no gas to the carb, but gas would run out of the fuel line from the tank (nope it wasn't vapor locked - I checked that). Totally pissed I walked back to the dealership, tossed their bad fuel pump at them and told them I wanted one that worked ...... They "gave" me another one, which I put on, and the truck ran fine. Oh, btw, I think I still have spare carburetor for a 1948 Chevrolet in my garage, if anyone needs one ..... humfrz |

Haven't heard a peep about it since the engine went into production so, especially with all the big shot engine building going on, I seriously doubt it.

Right?
Just because it's wrapped in a nice clean box doesn't mean it's any good. Shit happens.
