Big! Clutch Problem

[Waldo]

hey guys, just wondering what your thoughts are on this, ok my clutch is fine most of the time...but when reversing and like putting in 1st gear in traffic or just someitmes when cruising around..ill put the clutch in and go to change gears and the gear stick is hell hard to move and when i pull it out everything goes clunk as if its still got some sort of load on it....sometimes when in traffic i have clutch in and brakes on in 1st gear and the car slowly kreeps foward.. and is hard to take outta gear and i have to pump the clutch alittle to get it to free up....now i have changed the master cylinder to a brand new one cos it was leaking...and i checked the lines and the slave cylinder and it looks fine no fluid leaking anywhere.. ive bled it twice now and still same problem its as if the clutch is still slightly engaged....i want to know what the little box is that the clutch line comes out of...cos it seems pointless...to have the box. what do you guys think it is. i have a exedy heavy duty pressure plate with a 5 puck race ceramic clutch, oh and it also gets stuck in gears if you ride the clutch and get it to shudder. its pissing me off bigtime and i have the pedal adjusted all the way out so the clutch works as soon as you pretty much touch the pedal..

yeah that is really interesting cos i have experienced the exact same problem with my car and was able to fix it by replacing the master cylinder. Its got to be something to do with the hydraulics but i dont really know enough to be able to tell you what.

Good luck though

Sounds like your clearances are up the shit. Sounds like the clutch is not fully dis-engaging, thus making it hard to take out or put into gear. When going to an aftermarket clutch, there is a colar, in the clutch assy, that may need to be modified, if this is left std, it may be too long. I am not a mechanic, so i can't go into details :.

Take it to a proper mechanic to check over it properly
