Hey guys I have a JMC Hydraulic Clutch and I have it hooked up properly. I have the master cylinder lined up with the clutch pedal perfectly for smooth operation and no binding. Now when I push on the pedal normal it will move flawlessly with no noise, but when I push on it slowly i hear a sort of rubbing nois like someone is dragging their foot on slick hardwood ALMOST like a farting noise. Is this normal god I hope not?

Did you bleed the system properly and is the clutch engaging??

That sounds like rubber on a dry surface??? Is there fluid in the system?

Does the master have a boot on it? Try spraying some silicone oil on the shaft where the boot goes.

Stick your head under the dash while you press on the clutch pedal with your feet to find the noise, what's so hard about that?

Yeah I have it with fluid, I haven't got around to bleeding it, and ron67fb I will try the silicone idea you had. It wasn't doing it when I didn't have it hooked up to the slave, it started doing it after i dropped everything in.
