My Clutch Taking The Piss Out Of Me

[ThirtyThree]

Hey people, have a jim berry full monty clutch in my 33, for some reason lately the friction point on my clutch is always changing, when the car is cold (just started driving) the thing will bite really low... as soon as i let go of the clutch itll grab, and then sometimes.. usually as I drive for a bit.. the friction point will change to as high as 2/3 of the way up the pedal stroke, which is a pain as its get impossible to get used to the car.

It even gets as bad in some instances where i have the clutch to the floor, with the car in first gear, and its as if the clutch is just starting to grab.. it would also be harder to put into gears at this point, as im guessing the clutch isnt fully enganged.

I have tried adjusting the clutch... which is pointless as the friction point will just keep changing.. have done a clutch fluid bleed several times with no real improvements, any suggestion guys???

any help greatly appreciated as I dont want to f*** anythig by driving it like this...

Is the pedal bracket still intact?

I'm thinking to check for clearance in the pushrod into the master cylinder. Should just be able to wiggle the rod. Check before you start out (when friction point is low) and then again when friction point gets too high.

I just wanna say i feel for you having that clutch. My friends r34 gtt has one and i asked to take it for a drive; I tried to get going but after 5-7 attempts and huuuuge neck whiplashes I got out of the car.

Sorry i dont have any advice for ya except to call Jim Berry and ask him what to do, maybe its a fault?

Best of luck working out the problem

dont think its the clutch itslef, at the end of the day a clutch is just springs n tensioners nothing can really vary like mine is... i actually love the way it grabs but its a pain when this grabbing point is constantly changing.

call race clutch in queensland, theres a sticky with his details
