Wierd Clutch problem.

[Hahnsb2]

Well a couple weekends ago and I put in a better FM146 tranny I had laying around since the old one's synchros had seen better days and the input bearing was getting bad. Also threw in a new disk, pressure plate, throwout, pilot, slave, master cyl and a better flywheel. Now about a week later, if I push the clutch or release it too fast it takes for ever to return, like something is physically holding it from returning. And if I push it normal again it becomes normal. If I do a lazy shift it's fine, but any time I need to do a fast downshift on the freeway it really sucks to wait 5 seconds for the clutch to come back. The clutch feels fine, engages where it should, not spongy. Any ideas?

That sounds like one of those "wierd" problems man!

Have you gotten underneath your dash to look at the pedal assembly? Maybe a spring?

I would probably start looking there first since it's a "return only" issue.

It engages and disengages fine too?

Yup engagement is perfectly normal and there is no air in the system. Anyone else have any ideas?

Anyone?

does it only do it once the truck is hot?

Does it cold, hot, running or not running.

My guess is it's a valve or something in the master cyl not allowing the fluid to return properly (I had a master go bad on mine once, it would actually build pressure while driving, eventually causing the clutch to slip).

Yeah it almost feels like a valve... This pisses me off, its a brand effing new master
