Default Clutch Issue...

I was running some errands around town today when I noticed my clutch didn't feel the same. It seemed to have less resistance and a slightly noticable difference in how it felt. Another thing I noticed was that it wasn't grabbing has hard as it was before. I just recently had a exedy organic with streetlite flywheel installed.

Also, I want to add that I am still breaking in the clutch and have put in about a little over 500 miles on it. I haven't shifted past 4k, except for a few times due to merging into the parkway. I'm hoping I can fix this myself instead of dropping the car off to a shop again(PITA).

EDIT: Would it be possible to have the MASTER cylinder changed even though I had the slave cylinder replaced about 7 months ago? Or are they usually connected in some way. TIA.

possibly need to change either the master or slave cylinder. Either way, you should change them both out just to be safe

Plus to save you time, because when people change the master. the slave sometimes goes a few weeks later. This is due to the new master creating higher pressure then the old slave cant handle.

Before I had the slave cylinder replaced I used to have alot of fluid on the clutch. So much that my foot would slip off at times making it very dangerous. With this, I have not seen or felt any fluid. Could it still be the master cylinder?

Another thing I noticed was that car seems to accelerate a little quicker now. I have no idea if this has anything to do with the clutch pressure, or if its just because the clutch has 'breaked in' after driving it under 4k for almost 700 miles.
