When I parked the car the clutch worked fine, every bit of it. After the ACT install, the clutch just wouldnt bleed, or build pressure; it was sucking air past the seal in the master.
I always replace both at once. And fwiw, I only got about 5k with duralast parts.

I've been pretty nice to it. I've run it up the RPMs, but i haven't been banging gears hard or doing clutch drops or anything.
Anyways, i'll replace both cylinders again after work today and re-bleed, see if i can't get some love out of this. Still had to drive it to work this morning, my poor transmission. Loving the clutch/flywheel combo otherwise. Definitely added some NVH but this car already had that in spades, so whatever. Revs stupid fast and made a noticeable difference in "pull" in the first couple gears.

That's really the thing that frustrates me about all this. The Miatas have been the one car historically that i haven't cheaped out on. Barring the Escort, i've also had the most problems with them. The MX6 is NOTHING but hackjobs but never gave me 25% the problems i've had with Miatas.

Replaced hydraulics. Bench bled. Used the correct fluid that my system was designed for. Bled the hell out of it.
No change.
I'm at a loss at this point. Any ideas? Car shifts like garbage (Which is especially vexing because i bought a $400 shifter/**** setup to make it feel perfect, and it did on the last clutch) because i'm fighting synchros, refuses to go into 1st or reverse from a stop.

I've probably replaced 100 clutches in my life time, and I've only had one do this exact thing. It was a stock replacement sachs that had a fucked up pp diaphram. When we went to remove it, it was clear as all the fingers were at a slightly different angle.
