A833 4 speed with Passon overdrive gear set and McCleod hydraulic clutch system (all from Passon Performance)

Clutch repeatedly goes to the floor , not allowing me to engage any gear. This has of course happened in the middle of traffic or on some busy street when I am in the middle lane and can't get to the curb., etc etc.

I know I have a small tranny seal leak, but it is hardly noticeable.

Besides the obvious low tranny fluid response, is there anything else that anyone has experienced that might give me a clue to a solution.

BTW Passon was of little help.,
 
Does it work sometimes and sometimes not? Sounds like air in the slave cylinder or an internal seal in the slave taking a dump.
Or the adjustment is off alowing the pedal to go to far over center for the spring under your dash to bring it back.

Yes it is intermittent. How do I check for air in the slave cylinder?

Im putting it up on the lift Saturday to replace the tranny seal
 
When you say you have a "tranny leak" what are you actually referring too? If you mean in the hydraulic clutch system a leak can allow air to keep getting into the system so the leak must be stopped. If your just referring to a leaking transmission that won't affect the clutch. Could be a slave cylinder going bad like Kocuda said. I haven't worked on many of them but they work like a brake master cylinder and I've seen them do that a few times when their bad.
