    Miata clutch slipping - what broke?

    Supposedly this Miata had a new clutch installed within the past 10,000 miles. It sat over the winter, and I drove it this week to find that the clutch was releasing very high, and would slip in 3rd and 4th.

    My best guess is a fluid issue with the master or slave...I've replaced the slave, but have concerns about the master.

    Would this result in slippage, though?

    Come to think of it, it is occasionally hard to

    put in gear as well. Any connection there?

    I don't want to take this car apart...crap.

    Yep.

    Bled it when replaced, and it was fine...now all of a sudden it lets out at the very top of pedal travel. Should I try bleeding again?
