Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'Replace following parts' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace following parts' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
Bleed the clutch with very little air in line and it goes back to normal, until I drive as above.
This is a continuation from my ongoing problem with my clutch.
Here is some history:
Drive about 100-120 miles and clutch starts to become at a lower engagement point, finally after 150 miles clutch pedal is nearly to to floor and can not engage into a gear.
Bleed the clutch with very little air in line and it goes back to normal, until I drive as above.
No fluid leaks
Changed the following parts already:
Clutch Slave x2
Clutch Master
Clutch (rubber) soft line going into slave
I do have a issue with the clutch release bearing, since I can feel a vibration in the clutch when slightly depressed.
The clutch has only 9K on it, which was switched to a stage 2 clutch and lightweight flywheel.
During my bleed operation with the motive power bleeder charged up and clutch pedal all the way down with a piece of wood hold it down.
When I turn the bleed screw, a little bit of air (air bubbles large 4-5 ) can be seen in the clear hose going into my catch basin.
At the same time when I turn the bleeder screw, I can hear the clutch release and it seems that the slave has pushed back to its full retracted position.
What seems to happen is that when I drive the 100-150 miles the clutch slave piston is increasingly becoming extended out, and not returning to it's full retracted position (clutch pedal all the way up). But when I bleed the clutch it goes back to normal position/travel.
Any thoughts?
Hey Ferdzz,
Sorry that you're having so much issue with your clutch. I've attached a link to our tech articles on the 996/997 Transmission. Hopefully the guides will give you a better shot at diagnoising the issue. If you have further questions, feel free to post a Comment just below the article and someone will get back to you with some info.
