possible clutch problem

[staticpat]

The same thing happened to my brothers car (not supra). We spent a weekend changing the clutch out, and he still had problems. The pedal was not adjusted correctly so the clutch wasn't contacting all the way. As mentioned, check the easy stuff first.

meh the link for the online TSRM isn't working so I can't show you what you need to do. But the short version is that there are threads on the arm connecting the mastercylinder to the pedal under the dash. loosen the jamb nut and twist the arm to lenthen or shorten the arm to increase/decrease the pressure on the master cyl. if you're having slipping issues, you should shorten the arm to decrease the pressure on the master cyl. there is another jamb nut on the pedal stop so you can adjust where the pedal sits as well. if you're still stumped I'll crawl under my dash later today or tomorrow and try and get a pic for you.

Ok, I understand about the pedal rod. BUt I honestly beleve it is way past that. My engine leaks oil like i piss when I'm on a fosters bender, ya dig. So for 300$ I'll let them go in and work there magic this one time. Because the magic that I want to work on is under the hood. I can work on the engine easily enough thus far. I hate letting someone under my hood and actually do work. BUt I have so many things that I want answered about this engine........, I'm gong to learn it this time, ESPECIALLY if I'm going to pay them 300$
Ij that was a great diagram..., I have seen a slave cylinder but I am not sure that it is the same one you are speaking of. I probably should have them change the oil pump whilethey are in there. Someone sugested this a while back in this thread I think I will price these. Hey guys I really appreciate all of you talking to me about this. Mike
P.S. Beautiful ride static pat. I'm sure you have thought about powder coating your rims black as well???

um..changing the oil pump means removing the engine, in most cases.

I'm a DRIVER......., not yet a machanic. And someone on this site told me that shit. So I repeated it to get a feel for the truth in the ordeal......, I appreciate your canter. Mike
P.S. I do everything to my supra that I can...., EVERYTHING. But I think I'm going to let toyota fix it . so I should have no worries. Other than how much can I really spend while it is there.

one problem at a time. you started this thread talking about a clutch problem and now you're trying to fix an oil leak? One thing at a time....
