New clutch slipping
So I've got a very weird problem again. My car is now running great but I've got some strange clutch problems now. One month ago the original clutch started slipping so i changed it for a stronger one because i thought the clutch is just worn out after 110000km. I was wrong. The old clutch still was strong enough but I found out the slave cylinder rod was pressing against the clutch fork a bit all the time.
I never had or even heard of such a problem before so I thought maybe one of you guys knows more about what to do now.![scratch](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/scratchhead.gif)

I never swapped the slave cylinder or the rod but i can't say what the previous owner did. The slave cylinder looks like it's old at least. I thought only some SA and FB rods were longer.

The pedal works fine. There's enough free way but rust could really be my problem. The car wasn't maintained very well before i got it. I guess the clutch fluid wasn't changed in the last 10 years.
By the way is it possible to bleed the clutch without special tools? If it is I would change the two cylinders at the parking lot.
