Hello Everyone new here...


Problem is.....clutch is in good condition we checked it very recently when the engine was out. But now the clutch pedal is bitting close to the top of the pedal and the clutch is slipping. This of course points to a goosed slutch but how can this be after only a few weeks with me driving it very little

 

You check your slave cylinder and fluid?

 

We thought of the slave cylinder but its not putting any undue presure on the clutch paddel when not being used. Could a faulty slave make the clutch slip if it was faulty?

 

I don't think it will do the latter. What kind of clutch did you install?

 

Well we did not actually install a new clutch. When we had the engine out we took the gearbox off and checked the clutch then. It was fine looked nearly new, the lad who had the car before me must have replaced it just before selling it to me...

 

When a clutch goes.....it goes fast.

 

How fast ?

Within weeks ?

 

well depending on what kind it can be sooner or later

My car is currently sittin on jackstands. I keep putting it off

My clutch apparently went out in 1 day. Drove it hard Thursday evening, wouldnt drive any more friday evening.

It was a Spec Stage 3 6 puck

Got my Blitz Single Active comin

 

Crikey!!...that is fast, but in the time after we replaced the engine I did not drive very hard at all. Was kinda being gentle with it...

 

its you pedal it sounds like. my ka had a new clutch installed and it would slip when it got warm since the fluid would get hot and expand slightly. this prevented the pedal from disengaging all the way causing it to slip. in my case it was good becasue i picked the car up for cheap becasue he thought it had clutch problems. email me if you need to know how to adjust it. juztinvez@yahoo.com

 

Right so why did this happen to yours...pedal not adjusted after new clutch ?

But my pedal just went like that nearly over night. We had just put a new subframe on (without touching clutch) the only thing was the car was tilted so maybe oil has got past them oil seal onto clutch, even this can not reall explain the pedal being high

 

mine was the same. after a new clutch it worked fine. until I drove 20 miles and the fluid would heat up and had nowhere to expand except back against the slave cylinder causing the clutch to partially disengage resulting in the slippage. http://www.store.yahoo.com/phase2mot...wtoadclpe.html

 

Thanks for the link... seems an interesting area that. Is it connected to this site ?
