Hey guys, I've got a 2nd gen 3s swap and am having trouble with my e153.

Some history first. Bought the car from Toyotacrazy about a year ago car is beautiful ran great no problems. ( this is my first turbo car ) about 3 months ago the clutch went. Long story short I took it down and the little sleeve that the throwout bearing rides on got chewed up.

Got a stage 4 comp clutch from Pheonix tuning and a bellhousing. Split the case and replaced the bellhousing ( used reverse lever loosening technique, so I only had to separate the front). Got everything sealed back up, put the tranny back in and it was a go, after a very long bleeding. After about 700 miles ( very easy and light driving miles I might add) it started to sound like the throwout bearing was going again. No biggie right made plans to change it, but before I could the car started acting up, it feels like the clutch master is loosing pressure after about 15 mins. Very hard to shift unless your Rpms are perfect. I've changed the slave twice rebuilt the master once and put in a brand new master since. Next step is pulling the trans and splitting the case again to check for internal problems. Any one have any ideas ? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
