I'm having the exact same problem.

I had mine replaced almost...four months ago (weird I know). Me being tired from workin on my car because I just finished an engine swap, I had mechanics do it. They replaced the rear main seal(nothing to do with my clutch, but just sayin), put in a new clutch kit, and replaced the master/slave cylinders. At first I was losing fluid because they forgot to put some washer on. Fixed. But a little later, out of nowhere, I started smelling something burning. It was a weird smell, and definately wasn't oil. But at the same time my clutch started feeling...weird. I pulled over, bled it, and took off. My clutch still not feeling the same.

Now I've tried bleeding it, many times, and no luck. I've check for leaks, but it just looks like it's running down the slave cylinder and to the bottom of the tranny. I've checked and checked for drips anywhere else, but no. And as far as I can see with only taking the intake off I can't see any lines leaking. But now I notice, the hose from the reservoir to the master cylinder is...well...wet. Also, theres a small puddle, but I'm not sure if that's from overflowing the cylinder or some leak. My car will shift fine if the cars is off, and I can actually feel it grabbing gears. It will start also, but when I do, even with the pedal to the floor...it won't shift.

Any help for both our sakes would be appreciated, my lude is my daily

On that note, mine won't either when I'm pumping...just barely...nowhere near what it used to.
