Clutch problems
Well I put in a new clutch and flywheel yesterday and this isn't my first time so I didn't get any mysterious parts leftover. Problem is that clutch pedal feels really light have way down and then gets more pressure about 2 inchs before bottoming out. I can shift throw the gears and nothing is locked in place of stiff or notchy. Just the clutch pedal feels very sloppy like halfway down and when I go to start the car it gives this high pitch grinding sound like when you try to crank the ingnition when the car is already on. Help. I took off today to get this thing going. Oh and the clutch is a sprung 6puck and ACT flywheel installed into a y8 tranny and everything was torqued to OEM specs. One thing I noticed is that I'am able to push and wiggle piston on the clutch master cylinder. Shouldn't there be constant pressure on it when I push on it? Only thing I can think of is that I need to bleed the master cylinder or that the MS is shot. Only thing is that nothing is leaking or anything. Help!

Re:Clutch problems
Nothings leaking though. Can they still be bad without leaking? My car was fine and the clutch assembly(master, slave cylinder, lines) were fine before hand. Just the clutch was slipping when I had my turbo in and took it out and sold it instead of replacing the clutch at the time. Now that I'm building another kit I bought a new clutch and flywheel before I install my new kit. How long does it usually take to bleed the lines? Maybe I just didn't do it long enough. I bleed it until all the bubbles were gone and I thought that was it. This sucks.
