....so after some input with no real solution here is what I noticed but first a refresher, this is a 122s that has a conversion T9 5 speed from the BW35. The master and slave cylinders are brand new and the fluid is Dot 3. The pedal at first was easy and obviously 'fresh' but a couple days later the pedal started 'sticking'. I felt the rubber seals had expanded considerably as most rubber does when in contact with brake fluid but this seems to be excessive to the point where I have a sticky/grabbing feeling in the pedal. Obviously the clutch components are new and at this time I assess it to be the master cylinder feeling that the slave would not 'feel' as difficult if it were the culperate. Im not sure what to do short of asking the questions and going through the trouble of systematically going through each component. The pedals are new to the car and were reconditioned and greased before installed so I doubt the pedal is the problem.
Any thoughts? Bone, oh how does one upload a photo of there car here?
