Clutch Pedal Woes

[reaver]

Greetings from the UK

After the blown thermostat, broken thermostat housing, leaking water pump, and the slipping clutch, I've now got the fifth problem in as many months with this damn car.

I recently had a new exedy gtr clutch put in my R33 gtst and all was great for two weeks. Then i noticed a ticking noise from the gearbox at idle with my foot OFF the clutch. If i dipped the clutch a centimetre it stopped, possible the new release bearing collar rattling on the input shaft maybe?

This was pissing me off no end, having the car sound like a tractor at traffic lights, but then lady luck shat on my face once again and now my pedal has broken.

I pulled out of a junction, then mid change into second, heard a POP from the pedal and it rushed to the floor and i crunched the gear change.

When i put my foot on the pedal it pushes to the floor with hardly any resistance compared to how stiff it was, and i have to bury it into the firewall to change gear, then the second it lifts up a notch it engages and drives.

I had to finish driving to work like this and then home again. There is no slipping and the clutch seems to disengage fine when in gear. Its just a bugger to get into gear as i can't push the pedal any further down without coming through the bulkhead!!!!

Does this sound like hydraulics or has the pedal boxgiven up with the pressure of the new clutch???

Any help would be much appreciated as i need my car to get to work everyday !!!!!

EDIT: I didnt realise i hadn't posted anything yet. thought i had already said hi at least in another thread! Forgive my manners and my first post lol

If the pedal now sits a lot lower to the floor, then it's likely the pedal box has popped its seams. Stick your head under the dash and have a look.
