Clutch Pedal Toast

[paulr33]

hi all

my clutch pedal is toast and its all wonky and wobbly

i had my local mechanic fix up my slave cyclinder and thats all sorted

but its still about the same, he said the slave was toast but now he is saying the pedal box is shagged to

so its better but the pedal is still floppy etc. ive done some searching and it seems common for the pedal box to die

a few guys just weld it up and its ok etc. they want $200 for the part 2nd hand and $350 to fit it to the car

the car drives ok, selects gears reasonably ok, so the cluthc itself is ok its just clunky and hard to get it in gear - like the pedal is awkward

is this part what i need ?

and is it the same as..

like would it be the whole assembly or just the metal thats toast?

logic says to me its just the metal bracket as they checked the master cylidner and bled it etc and said its fine

if it is at all the same as 32's and s13's then it will give out eventually. mine did at deca. they are a crap design. just take it out and weld the crap out of all the joints.

Hi there mate, Can you tell me the proceedure for removing and refitting the clutch pedal box and have you seen the replacement item from nismo to assess how much better it is than the original.I am A first class welder so re-welding it wouldn't be a problem,just need to know how it is removed and whether to re-weld it or buy the nismo one.Anyone had a Nismo one break??

Mine hasn't gone yet but I am about to replace the clutch with a Jim Berry 4000lb clamp one and want to be prepared for this problem occurring,if I can get the info I need I will probably get the job done before I get stranded out on the highway somewhere.Cheers Grey Pearl

hi gary

i put the nismo one in my car, it just has more seem welds on it, nothing more really

you would be by far better off getting yours welded yourself to make it craploads stronger

i think its just 4 bolts against the main frame/firewall and the clutch cylinder vac thingy
