Clutch friction point

by **mazen222** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 12:30 pm

After changing my clutch, the friction point was very low... as soon as i start releasing the clutch engages. I thought i could change the friction point by playing with the pedal height. My mechanic told me it wont change anything, but i thought i had nothing to loose, so i went under the dash and played with the bolt and nut above the clutch pedal and reduced the height of it.

This made things worst, i couldnt even put the shifter in first gear anymore... so i re-adjusted the height back to its original point.

Now the car drives fine, but the friction point is still very low. but what confuses me is that sometimes, for no apperant reason, the friction point changes to almost mid level of the clutch pedal height and the clutch feels like there is a good spring pushing it upwards all the time.

I don't know if i just confused everyone here, but if anyone can guide me in the right direction to fix this, it would be very appreciated.

Thanks!

thats how they are, as it wears out the peddle will move farther out................... :drinking:

no... the clutch is brand new.

on one start it will be super low and some other times it will be super high and with good resistance. next start it will be low again

check the resivour, it my be low, as it is hydralic, also may need to bleed it................... :drinking:

the oil level is just above the lowest point, i will fill it up and bleed it.

is it easy to bleed this myself? or should i just not waist my time and ask a mech?

Sounds like air in the system or hydro booster (or what ever they have) may be going out.
You'll need 2 people to bleed any system. 1 to pump the clutch and hold down while the other bleeds. (and probly gets a bath)

... Or you can use a one man bleed kit.

But it doesn't sound like thee is air in the system if the feel is inconsistent. Sounds like there may be a bad seal in either the slave or master cylinder
