Just Changed My Clutch

[MissTara]

I know this should be in the driveline section but nobody answeres questions in there and i need the car going.

I just changed the clutch in my R33 series 2, with an exedy heavy duty. I wanted to check the pedal feel before i put all the bellhousing bolts bank on, so i have 4 bolts on. I pressed the clutch in and it has about 2inch slop then it feels like a normal heavy duty. any ideas how to get rid of the slop, i havent taken off any clutch lines, all i did was unbolt the slave cylinder, which is now bolted back on. thanks for any help.

bleed the clutch line still.. and perhaps adjust the rod inside the cabin at the top of the pedal.

Yes you need to adjust the rod where it mounts on to the pedal.

People do answer in that section. I was just in there.

Thanks guys, i'll give that rod an adjust and see what happens.

Greets man.

Another trick I did with mine is fabricate a longer slave cylinder pushrod.

I made a new one with an extra 5mm of length and it made a big difference.

Later!

well i got in there, took out the pin and tryed to spin the bracket on the rod but it wouldnt spin by itseld, it kept turning the whole rod. when i clamped the rod with vice grips ot still wouldnt budge. i could prolly get another 5-10mm if it would bloody move. Anywho, i screwed in the sensor thing so it pushed the clutch pedal down a bit so there wasnt as much free play. i might get sombody to have a look at it.

There is a locknut that stops the rod turning and "self-adjusting".

Did you check the height of the new pressure plate compared to the one you replaced? Have you checked for freeplay in the thrust fork?

[MissTara]

yep i checked the pressure plate hight, i havnt checked free play in the thrust fork, do you mean as it is now or when i put the new bearing in? cause i took my time and got it all right when putting in the new bearing. if you mean check for freeplay now, i'll check tthat soon as im home, if there is what should i do?

It's the rod you turn, not the bracket. On the end it has two flat sides and I think about a 10mm spanner fits it.
