Like ^ said, you just put in a performance clutch, it's going to be stiff as **** until you wear it in. Mine was stiff for a while too, I'm near 350 miles on it and it's getting much more driveable. Still more stiff than stock, but that's because the pressure plate is putting much more force on it.

if you replaced the slave, i am assuming that you looked at the master cylinder, but if you haven't look at that because usually when a slave or a master cylinder goes out, the other one is not far behind from going out. i had to replace both within a month or so, but good luck.

I suspect that your clutch master cylinder is occasionally bypassing the internal seals. Rebuilding or replacing the clutch master cylinder is the only solution.

ye i don't know about the other master cylinders fitting our car, but it sounds to me like it is the master cylinder, but the good news is you don't have to drop the tranny to fix it, so it is about half as much to fix a master than a slave. this sounds like exactly what happened to me, except first my master went out then the slave. good luck mang.

Dont we have to replace the master cylinder on these cars after any clutch install to prevent this problem?

well if you just replace the slave then your putting more force on the master and then the master will eventually fail of wear out.
