- EF1 replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.Go with the easy fix first. Replace the clutch line and rebleed it. If it fixes it you are done if not on to the next component. (see full post)
- RushB replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.This is my current theory as well. I have a new steel one coming.Can you describe your symptoms in more detail when it happened? What was the behavior of the clutch pedal? Did it stay on the ground/halfway? Did you need to pump it a few times... (see full post)
- rgator replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.I had the same issue of not getting in gear only happened at the track and after the car was run hard, changed the clutch line to braided line and properly vacuum bled the clutch, it has never happened again in 2 years so far and the car sees 8K...

- RushB replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.Check out OP, that was replaced with an OEM part as it was out initial thought as well.Current theory is that maybe the clutch hose is degraded and ballooning and we should try a new one. (see full post)
- EF1 replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.If it isn’t leaking and is losing hydraulic pressure it would have to be the clutch master cylinder. If the slave was losing pressure it almost has to be a leak. I am not convinced it is losing pressure. Clutch master cylinders can go bad but... (see full post)
- RushB replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.Yes it is. Same reservoir but different circuit. Brakes are 100% this whole time as well. (see full post)
- EF1 replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.On your car is the clutch circuit separate from the brakes? (see full post)

And surprisingly i was looking at property there. Got friends and family close by and was told thats a good area to get some acreage ;)
- RushB replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.That's the puzzling part. The system was bled 5-7 times after each part was replaced and most recently has been bled over 10 times following ford's vacuum/pump procedure. (see full post)
- EF1 replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.If you think it is a hydraulic issue pull a vacuum at the reservoir to make sure you don’t have a leak somewhere in the system. (see full post)

Like.Replaced the OEM diff cover with a Ford Performance finned special. Didn't realize I would need to drop the panhard bar for it to fit. Remembered I had to drop the stabilizer bar to drop the panhard bar. Drove to the speed shop to buy longer... 
backflip99 reacted to EF1's post in the thread MCA 50th anniversary track days @ Road Atlanta with Like.I went and looked at the event page. It says limited classroom and lead/follow. This is what they did at Barber a few years ago. The lead follow was with all novice drivers on track at once. They had 5-6 instructor cars with 4-6 students behind...- EF1 replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.In my case when it stuck I had to shut the car off and restart it to restore function. Fun on track. Could not find any leaks and fluid level was normal. Drove fine on the road. Stuck again on track at high rpm. Went through this. Cycle 3-4 times... (see full post)
- RushB replied to the thread Super Puzzling Clutch Hydraulics Issue - HELP!.Gotcha - so the symptoms are different in our cases yeah?I feel like a core part of my issue is that the hydraulic system loses pressure when this happens and needs a pump or two to feel normal again, whereas in your case, the clutch stuck, but...
