brakes and clutch
I have a problem with the brakes on my lude, sometimes they work just fine, and other times I'll be stopped and they will slowly go to the floor, I'm thinking it could be the master cylinder??? Also ever since I put the engine in, the clutch seems to slip in first, and grinds a little going into fith, could this be in the pedal, or in the cable??? It has a new clutch, pressure plate, and I had the flywheel resurfaced. I'm confused!
When I first got this car running, and drove it, the ABS light would come on, and go off at different times. Since I got it back the light does not come on anymore. They could have done something to make the light stay off!?!?!

A friend of mine with a '00 Lude had a 5th gear grind issue. Turned out the shift fork was bent. This may not be the same problem you're having though.
Check your MC, lines, and calipers for any potential leaks. Start with a brake bleed and flush out all the old fluid and make sure new stuff is getting to all four corners (grab a friend to help you do this). It may be as simple as some air in the lines or a leak. If neither of these solve the problem, you may want to consider swapping out the MC for a new unit.
