Hi everyone,

After getting my brake and clutch fluid changed my clutch felt great - very low take up point, nice firm pedal. But after a week the clutch is now engaging at the very top of the pedal's travel - and its very annoying to drive.

What could have caused this and should I be taking it back to the place that did the work?

Thanks

Greg

Got the system bled and it fixed in temporarily.

It's back now. Mechanics reckon its the master cylinder.

What do you think?

1. clutch squeaks when depressed

2. the hotter the car, the higher the release point and more pedal effort required

3. quite sudden take up

I would be checking the cylinders like others said. I've broken springs and shit inside them before due to my clutch at the time being very heavy duty. Also make sure your clutchs pedal metal bracket isnt bending etc due your new clutch being stronger....ahah i have also broken one of them once again due to a very heavy clutch.

i had the exact same problem.. go my MASTER cylinder changed and now it back to normal.. nice firm pedal release point just below half way out greeat success!! i had a squeak as i depressed my clutch as well.. that is still slighty there... i only got the car back today so in the next few days if it goes again then i change the slave cylinder... but so far all good with just changing the master :thumbsup:

dont suppose any of you guys know where to get a new slave cyl from?? any tips please pm me! ta simonnnn

kudos motorsport

adjust you clutch pedal? the lines might have had air in the lines and the pedal was adjusted for that and when u bled it that may have changed the response so u need to adjust for that

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
