Aftermarket Clutch Master and Slave?
Tl;dr my clutch is now feeling extremely hard to push in like it eventually did on my old lemon lawed frs. I want to know if there is an aftermarket master and slave and wtf.
So im on my second fr-s. First one had 23000 miles when toyota bought it back because of a ton of problems, including clutch flywheel and tranny being replaced. That clutch felt completely different than all the other frs I have driven. Here is my old thread on that. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=468950 Well now my new frs with about 10000 miles on it feels the same as that one ended up feeling like. Just let two others drive my car and they pointed out my clutch felt much different. One of their cars has over 23000 mioes on it and the clutxh feels like mine did when new. Im not sure if im abusing the clutch and causing issues or what but it too much of a coincidence to me. The clutch feels much harder to push in. Just like an old cable clutch. I cant find anything as far as after market and im confused whats going on. Sent from a Motorola DynaTAC 8000X |

Have someone else that knows how to drive stick watch you drive, there is no way you'd get two cars with the same issue like that. My clutch feels exactly the same as the day I drove it out of the dealer and I'm up to 20k miles.

Is the fluid level good on the clutch master? IIRC it has a separate reservoir, doesn't share the brake reservoir at all.
