So my oem clutch had 174k on it. Worked decently well still just the throw out bearing started to make noise. Well I ordered exedy clutch and had a guy put it in for me.. He used to work at a transmission shop and works on transmissions still every weekend. Anyway now that my new clutch is in I don't feel it grab really at all... What I mean by that is if your on flat ground in 1st-3rd gear and slowly let go of the clutch at a dead stop the car moves forward. Well... My car isn't moving forward in 1st even like it is but maybe .002 mph... I'm assuming he didn't bleed the master cylinder I'm going to do that tomorrow morning but any other suggestions? I am going to call him back to see what the hells going on but if its something small that takes me a few mins that's fine but if you guys think its something more I'll take it back asap. Once moving car drives 100% great the clutch feels good it just doesn't grab like a normal clutch does. I mean it's brand new it should grab like a fat kid grabbing a Twinkie but its grabbing like a homeless man to a now hiring sign lol.

Okay I bleed the living hell out of the clutch cylinder it did indeed have a bunch of air. I did the one man bleeder method and repeated it 20x until pedal was normal feeling aka no longer soft. Issue now is my clutch slave cylinder is speaking unless I push in lightly on it.. Slave cylinder isn't leaking ect. Also it feels rough to have my foot rest on the clutch pedal.... It like feels as if something is catching or wobbling around. Feels like that with no pressure on it and whenever the pedal is going down until its flat it no longer feels like that. I'm 100% clueless. I'm going to take it back to him but he's busy till the weekend and I work 15+ hour days Monday-Friday... I drive my car 40 miles everyday so leaving it parked for a week isn't really an ideal option... I can use my gf car but its a huge hassle because of my work schedule.. So any ideas is greatly appreciated. Slave cylinder isn't leaking any fluid neither is the master cylinder, no signs of any issues between them besides the squeaking
