cluth pedal sticking
I have a 95 S14 and when I let off the clutch pedal it sticks right after where it releases. If I keep driving and don't touch the pedal again, it will eventually spring back out to where it should be, or I can stick my foot behind the pedal and pop it out as well. Anyone have any ideas? The pedal sticking does not effect the clutch working or make it seem as if I'm riding the clutch. Any help would be great. Thanks.

give the line a bleed or flush. good op to take out the dampener if you havent already done so.
|
what will removing the dampener do?
|
give you better feel in the pedal and eliminate an area where air can get trapped.
|
If that doesn't work you can try replacing the master cylinder
|
any elaboration on removing the dampener? im having the same issue as b0rdin.
|
l2aine has a link in his sig where he removed his.
|
Go to l2aine's site (http://garage.projectraine.com) and then go to My 240sx Garage Guides on the left side, it's in there. I plan on doing it sometime this weekend hopefully, so I'll post on here once I do it and let you know how it works out.

i had the same problem with my 1990 acura legend. havent figured it out yet, but i believe it had something to do with the demise of my clutch. I think it was my pressure plate that went out. I'd take the tranny down and inspect the clutch assembly. This is exactly how my clutch acted before it quit workin. it just spins now, no grip whatsoever. and it was pretty violent when it happened. it wasnt a gradual spi-slip, no-go.. kinda like violently shake, shake, stop accelerating. i wasnt abusing it that night either, strangely enough. Is the clutch pedal really sensitive when it sits low to the floor like that? ir harder to push? cuz mine would have like half an inch of stroke to engage and disengage the clutch. If i pulled it out, it would have normal operation, though the clutch would slip. When it was sittin close to the floor, i could go wide open in any gear and it wouldnt slip. anyways, i would definately take a weekend to take a good look at the whole clutch system: pressure plate, clutch, master cylinder, slave... everything, before it becomes a problem. the old "ounce of prevention" saying applies here... i forget how the whole thing goes, but you get the point.

Slave cylinder/throwout fork (it may be on its way out of coming off the bearing) 2. Master Cylinder (also reach under it and feel around the bottom of it to make sure it's not leaking there) |
does your clutch slip AT ALL under acceleration?
|
Thanks for all the possibilities everyone, I am still looking into all of them. A couple months ago the U-shaped bracket that connects the pushrod from the master cylinder to the clutch pedal snapped so I replaced the U-shaped bracket. I faintly remember there being threads on the bracket and the pushrod, could I maybe not have adjusted that properly and could that be causing my issue?
LA_phantom_240 - No, the clutch doesn't slip at all under acceleration. |
Did you ever find out what this was?
|

No I still haven't figured out what is causing it because it doesn't bother me too much anymore, plus I have a new clutch on the way so I'll see what happens after I install that.
Donny, yea I've been on here for a while but I don't post much anymore. We should try to get all the Maryland people together sometime since it's getting real nice out lately. |
