So,
I have this freshly bought Fiero that has weird electrical things going on (see flashing electricals post) .
I also have this going on. In the AM first starts, I have no clutch. I can pump it about 50 times and get enough to drive it.
In the course of the day after that, I get acceptable function. Good enough to drive. In doing a visual on the master and slave, I see no leaks, and the level in the reservoir is good and unchanged. What's that ? Air somewhere ? Could not be a leak. My level is holding. I did note wrench marks on the braided line to slave, but cannot swear they are fresh. Maybe....
Anyone else see this before ?

Never.

Common issue. Have a look at This recent thread and pay special attention to what is stated about double-seal clutch slaves.

The original single seal slaves were/are notorious for allowing air to be sucked in, even if fluid wasn't leaking out. This is the reason why Rodney had double seal slaves made in the first place... and is why I suggest that replacement slave cylinders only be bought from him.

Now if I can get those electrical gremlins solved, I will be able to focus on upgrades and things.
