Whiteyll, considering that the car is already 20 years old, I would recommend to replace the rubber hose that attaches to the slave cylinder as these, when they fail (internally) don't show it outside, unless you get someone to push the pedal while you watch if the hose 'ballons' under pressure.

This is a common failure on the slave cylinder of the Alfas with a transaxle, also new hose should not be expensive.

Good luck!

I guess I'm gonna go in

Ive been chasing this long enough...... the car a 98 now has 24K miles. I just don't like the feel of my high engaging clutch pedal, I've bled it, replaced the slave and pressure line, and master and bled it again and still the same high pedal. I guess I'm gonna go in and see if I can find anything. I'll replace the RMS, clutch and pressure plate, actuator pivot lever etc. Is there anything else or upgrades from another year? I don't want to replace it all and come away with the same high pedal. Is there anything I've missed? Thanks for your time.
