[QUOTE="PrestonJ, post: 16851054, member: 157770"] Ok so I'm bringing this post back from the dead because my clutch saga STILL isn't over. The issue I initially posted about here ended up being a combination of a bad master cylinder and clutch cable. With those parts replaced the clutch started performing normally for a short time. So to summarize here is what has been installed in my car: -McLeod RXT Clutch and Flywheel 6918-07 -Ford Performance 4.6L/5.4L/5.8L & 5.0L TI-VCT Roller Pilot Bearing -McLeod Racing 1200 Series Hydraulic Slave Cylinder -OEM Master Cylinder Replacement -McLeod 139251 High Performance Hydraulic Clutch Line So a few weeks after I got the car back (I don't drive it a ton) I noticed a very peculiar issue... about 50% of the time if I roll to a stop with the clutch pedal pressed down and the car in gear, the shifter will stick in that gear. I cannot pull the car out of that gear (can be any gear per my testing) without excessive force. The clutch is obviously disengaged because the car doesn't stall or try to pull at all. The only way I've found to get the car "unstuck" is by slowly releasing the clutch until the car starts pulling, then pressing the clutch back down. At that point I can pull it out of gear no problem. For the time being I have been able to avoid the issue by slipping the car into neutral before coming to a complete stop. I took it to the same Ford dealer today for them to investigate and they bled the clutch but that didn't help at all. Now they're suggesting another slave cylinder replacement. I am at my wits end with this issue and I am really not sure how to proceed. I know a bunch of you suggested that the OEM slave is a good option - do you guys honestly think pulling the McLeod slave out and replacing it with another OEM slave could possibly fix this issue? I have spent thousands of dollars at this point and really want to cut my losses chasing a fix. Any help is appreciated! [/QUOTE]
