Got a bit of a strange clutch related problem and I was wondering if anyone could help me with it. Lately I've noticed that my clutch has started engaging a lot higher then normal.. and that it has been slipping in gear, I thought it might be the clutch itself but I checked over everything else just to make sure. Anyway did a bleed of the system and I noticed that as soon as I cracked the bleed nipple on the slave that the pressure in the system bled out and the clutch fork went back into its normal position.

So whats happening is with the pedal up, the hydraulic system is retaining pressure some how, this is only a new problem as nothing else like pedal adjustment has been touched. I've tried doing a full bleed and it usually works fine for a while, until about 45 mins of driving and it goes shit again...

Can anyone shed some light as to what the problem might be?

There is some fluid weeping out the back of the master in the cabin, but the fluid level doesnt drop much, then again it doesnt get driven much. Bleed has been done so many times a bottle has gone through it.. fairly sure there's no air in the lines.

i had a very similar problem after driving the clutch pedel would change in pick up point, after thinking the same thing that is was either the master or slave cylinder it didn't fix it, i pulled the gearbox off, the throwout bearing was stuffed and also the clutch faces had worn out, i haven't put it all back together as i ordered a new clutch and throw out bearing, however after talking to a few places they said that a worn throw out bearing will cause this.

I just helped salad rebuild both his master and slave today, then did a full bleed and ran just about an entire bottle through it. Seems to be ok now but during the hour of driving it the engangement point went from just before half way to just above halfway... so im not sure if it has solved the issue or not.

As long as it stays there it should be good. Mine at the moment engages nearly at the top, painful.

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
