[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 16851140, member: 160791"] What you are experiencing now is clutch drag... the clutch is not fully disengaging. If you recently replaced the clutch master cylinder and hydraulic line, your problem is definitely inside the bell housing. It sounds like the slave cylinder is not actuating the pressure plate diaphragm spring appropriately. Also, while the clutch is dragging, it is building unnecessary heat in the clutch discs, floater, and flywheel contact surface... not good if left unchecked. You will need to remove the transmission to properly diagnose, but do replace the slave cylinder with a proper length OEM replacement at the minimum while you are in there. Out of curiosity, is the correct brake fluid being used to replenish the reservoir when clutch work is performed? Mixing of incompatible brake fluids could have undesirable effects. [/QUOTE]
