Clutch Pedal Problems

[joeyd161]

A few months ago i changed my clutch master cylinder cause it was leaking and bled the system everything was fine. Now the pressure on the pedal is very weak and now sometimes the pedal gets stuck about half way and then 2-3 seconds later comes back up. the gears goes in fine, im thinking its my slave cylinder or can it be something else. my car is a 88 N/A

How did you bleed the clutch system?

check your main components and connections, sounds like you have air in your system, or you're leaking fluid.

When i changed and Bled the system i used supra tsrm also adjusted it just like it said to. Im gonna try to bleed it tomorrow after i get out of work. but how do u know if the slave cylinder goes bad

when you have someone push the pedal in to help you bleed and it sprays you in the face........

ok had the same problem, my slaves continue to die after like 6 months, more than likely u have air in your system also, when u installed the master did u readjust the petal? check all of your lines one of mine had a small leak and this effected the clutch alot AKA when petal was pushed in the fluid would come out and when let go of a small amount of air would enter the system. causing my clutch petal to get stuck sometimes 1/2 way or it would fly to the floor and not return.

this problem is more than likely in your slave, replace or check to see if it is engaging,

another question is when you pump the petal alot does it start to engage?

to see if you have air in your lines pump the crap out of the petal and if it starts to work then you have AIR. the air from pumping the petal builds up in the slave.

that might help if not, explain to us a more indepth problem?

ok guys after months with the pedal i finally changed the clutch, pp, tob, pilot bearing and wow what a diffence now the car shifters a lot smoother, doesnt make a lot of noise as before, & accelaration is a lot better than before. also does anyone know about how long the clutch takes to break in cause the clutch kit didnt say anything about that.

opinions differ.......200, 500, 1000.....some people just say drive it in stop and go for a day....just easy with it for a while.
