UPDATE

I had a guy (ASE Cert. tech) come out to my house on Mon. and he took out the tranny and clutch and found the throw-out bearing, clutch and pressure plate in near new condition. He told me he's 99% sure it's the slave cylinder. He said just because it makes enough pressure to push my hand doesn't mean its strong enough to do it's job(sounds familiar huh?).

So, I'm waiting for the dodge dealership to get in the new hydraulic system. (Comes from the factory with resevoir, and fluid installed and bled, simple blug and play). Should be in on Thurs. and my guy will install everything on Friday morning. Hopefully I'll be cruising Friday afternoon.

Cool! Glad to hear you figured it out. At least you found the problem one way or another.

Well, changing out the clutch master, slave and resevoir (ordered from Dodge, came complete with fluid in it and bled) and she's good to go. Here's a pic if anyone wants to know. Thanks again for all the help.

Sure, previous owner pulled the engine and replaced the seals and gave it a good cleaning. Installed a new oil pan gasket, high volume oil pump, put on some chrome valve covers and air filter, changed the clutch, pressure and flywheel, aerochamber hearders, 2" drop spindles. That's about it with the mustang rims.

Not much but it works well and looks pretty!
