Well I was out for a drive this weekend (and a beautiful one it was too). I
discovered something a bit odd. My clutch acts like it is out of fluid when
stopped on a hill - pointing up. I hecked the level - on the level - and the
master cylinder is full. Well close enough, I topped it up. I have no
problems with the clutch on the flat, or pointed down a hill. It doesn't
slip. Grab early or any weird stuff. Well except for the uphill weird stuff.

I can get it to pump up if I pound on it for 6 or 8 times, but not enough to
make it work exactly right.

Like I said it is quite "normal" every other driving condition.

Any idea what I should look for??

Oh yea, This is a new MC (97) and slave ('00). And the red plastic line was
replaced last year and successfully bled.
