Default Clutch pedal low to floor with SPEC stage 3?

Hello all I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue with the spec stage 3 clutches? I have one in my 2JZ/SC3 and it seems the pedal is very low to the floor. I also tossed on a new set of tires and shifted kinda hard and it seems that the clutch isnt even holding stock twins at 15psi??? kinda weird.

Also just wondering if it may be my clutch master cylinder taking a dump on me and not actually applying all the pressure to the clutch opon release.

any input is great guys.

This is a 2JZ with lexus W58 trans.

On a side note, the clutch was given to me and if it is the clutch thats bad do I just order a clutch for a 2JZ motor or do I need to order a specific clutch for the W58 trans input shaft?


Thanks in advance

I have a Spec Stage 3+ in my car and it feels about the same as what your describing.

the petal feel is just really low and nothing you can do about it. does your petal feel really soft also?

Ive done everyhing i could do to correct this but no help. Ive replaced my slave, replaced my master, replaced the clutch line with SS.

My clutch seems to be holding at 378HP with 15psi

i have a 1jz with w58 btw.

does adjusting the pedal height now make a difference?

well I was gonna order a clutch master cylinder but as you and some other have described it may not be the clutch master but the clutch itself, Im kinda tossed as I will be swapping over to a chevy auto in a few months BUT i still do want to drive and mod my car with the 5 speed until the time comes ya know.

a clutch master cylinder is like 72 bucks so I still wanna swap it out as the chassis is 14 years old.

it just seems when I powershift or just shift the car hards the clutch slips....... i know there is no way its wheelspin.
