Clutch Engaging Too High

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.

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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
