Clutch problem

Hi all,I have a problem with my clutch pedal I've bled the system and I get a good hard resistance,but on the pedal's return back up it stops short of reaching the top and I manually have to lift it with my foot!the car has had a new clutch fitted(AP Racing,so I know it's going to be abit harder to press,and the car did this before the new clutch was fitted!)plus the biting point is very very low down about an inch I'd say!i don't have a wet carpet I can't see any leaks.....any ideas?cheers

Sounds like the clutch master cylinder to me i have the same problem wich ive yet to fix as just not got round to doing it yet ....

Dose your car live inside or out ? Pull the black rubber back and check its not rusty inside ther

It lives inside,been off the road for years so that wouldn't help,I'll take alook tomoz before work see whats what

Just what happened to mine with the sticky pedal when i took it off the road for a while its garaged but had been outside at times

Bill's was like that and it was the clutch fork. His was the middle part indent or rocker bit that had split. You can easily check by pulling the rubber boot away and shine a torch in to check if it's ok . As you look at the engine it pushes through rigt to left so look down the left hand side for breaks or splits

Clutch fork ggggrrrrr hope not,really hope not

What was up with yours johnny?

Mine just stuck on the way back up. Was rusty in behind boot of slave. But the biting point bit was my next thing to say sounds like exact problem bill had with clutch fork. I was on the phone to darren (bones) at the time as he was checking things and he spotted it

Paul, if it's not sorted before I finish my course i will come back up after to try and sort it out with you?

Ok nice one spike,cheers pal

Before you do anything else
Try adjusting the rod from the clutch master (underside of pedal box) so in other words loosen the locknut and extend ithe rod which will give you a further pedal travel, sometimes the locknut can come loose and pedal travel gets worse so worth checking that first

Cheers bob I'll check it out mate,another thing is with the slave cylinder when it comes into contact with the clutch fork should there be something there for it to sit in or does it just push up against it?

It's ok just had a closer look all seems nice and snug that end

is that your dog paul?
hes a real beaut

Yeah bob.....he's a she lolol,she's called Xena mate.shes 8 is blind and got diabetes she casts the earth in vet bills but I wouldnt be without her mate

Awww bless her ... lovely looking dog regardless

Cheers mate,she's really soft to,luv her to bits

Any news on this huskiwolf??

Hi,no not had chance this weekend....I'm on shifts(earlies this week).so guna get the old gal out,and take a butchers weather permitting.Afew other little jobs to do

Been meaning to look at this but had a lot on at work,done abit of work on the rear calipers(bleed nipples,rear caliper springs ect).when it comes to adjusting the master cyliner rod(as bob suggested)I loosen the nut,but my question is once the nut is loose....can I just spin the bar?or do I need to take the clip out,pull the small bar out(part attached to the pedal)?I was thinking more doing it the first way.cheers

Once the locknut is loose the rod that goes from the master cylinder you can just unscrew which basically lengthens the rod which then gives you more travel at the slave cylinder end

Nice one bob,even easier than I thought....cheers pal

No problemo
