fc3s clutch problems
hi I own a s4 rx7 (nz) I have put a brand new 6 button clutch in it has been great until today I was driving along and the pedal went soft . I pulled over and checked my slave and master cylinder fluid is fine and no leaks I pumped it up to pressure and then it went soft again my mate watched the slave work at the end when it had no go in the pedal I have no idea what could b wrong with it please help!!!

Did you just unbolt the slave and leave the hose attached and move it out of the way when you changed the clutch, or did you disconnect the hose? Did you maybe replace the fluid and let air in the system?
Sounds like air in the system. Did you bleed the slave?

Bleed it again..
they sometimes just don't "catch" and keep the air in until you least expect it..then BAM to the floor it goes.
I have done 6 clutches in 4 years(different cars)..2 of them would just **** you off.
One I drove in 2nd for 5 miles to get home.(lucky I was near the house..!)
