PSA: Replace those clutch masters and slaves
My car felt like it was losing some acceleration and it got worse as it heated up. Had trouble diagnosing it and was even about to pull the trans and clutch as I thought I might have glassed the clutch itself. After a bunch of reading on here it sounded like it may be the clutch master and/or slave going out. From what I read, they don't last very long and are hard to diagnose as they don't always leak when going bad. I'm pretty sure the pair were only about two years old and had about 4k miles on them.
Spent $18 total for a new Exedy Clutch Master and Slave on Rockauto. Took about an hour to swap out both and bleed the line.
The car is back to amazing and performing as good as ever. I'll be replacing the pair annually now. Thanks to everyone who posted up info about this, helped me a ton.
PS- don't forget to bench bleed the clutch master before install.

My clutch felt like it was slipping under hard acceleration. It wasn't horrible like if the actual clutch was bad, but enough to be noticeable. Maybe someone can explain the technical reason, but I think it has something to do with the fluid pressure not being as powerful as it needs to be.

Have you guys found one method of bleeding is better than another?
we have :
Power pressure bleeder
two person method
Reverse bleeding method
I heard reverse bleeding is used in the aircraft industry.
Anyway, if you've tried more than one way let me know what you think.
