Does anyone have a DIY for a CMC replacement? I would apprciate any advice.Thank you.

Background:

I purchased the SouthBend Stage 2 clutch/flywheel kit back in 2014.

After having it installed in 2014, I have had issues with the pressure feel of my clutch. I swapped out both clutch master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder.

It feels great in cold weather, but as I drive in stop and go traffic or in the heat, it gets progressively worse. It reaches a point where the pedal only has pressure half way.

When I do a gravity bleed with fresh RBF 600 fluid, the fluid seems to only hold up for about 7000 miles. If its a lower grade fluid, it doesn't seem to last that long.

Joe from zspeed believes it sounds like the clutch master is not holding pressure, replacing it should resolve the issue.
