    I hadn't driven the z for a while so I fired it up and I had no clutch pedal. I jacked the car up and touched the slave boot and fluid came out. So the slave was buggered. I have a new slave cyclinder and bled the clutch with a vacuum bleeder. (I have a SS braided clutch line) I must have filled the reservoir 10 times while bleeding and I was still getting bubbles. But I had clutch pedal pressure and slave cyclinder was moving enough to engage gear. I started up the car and lost all clutch pressure. Do you think there is an issue with the clutch master cyclinder as a soon as there is vacuum from the motor it drops right out? Any help would be appreciated, it gave me the $:!t this afternoon

    I recently had a similar issue with mine. I had a faulty hose that was leaking and after replacing the hose, no amount of fluid would maintain clutch pressure when then car was running. There was no other leaks to be found.. Turned out to be the master cylinder needed replacing too.
    Make sure you get the clutch peddle adjusted if you decide to replace it ;)

    Ta stocki, that gives me a little more confidence it is the master cyclinder. Thanks for the tip on the pedal adjustment, i havent done it before but im sure i will work it out. Cheers

    I'm assuming this is a TT (clutch booster) if it's changing with vacuum?

    Stocki's explanation is the most likely, you have another leak/the master has failed too.

    Where did you get your clutch master cyclinder from? Not having a lot of luck finding one locally online
