hey guys,

got a problem with my clutch, after i dont drive it overnight the next day when i go to change gears the clutch pedal just goes straight to floor and i need to sort of pump it a few times before it will pop back out to normal again,

anyone got an idea of what the problem could be?

cheers

Kyle

i had a similar issue except mine went to the floor and stayed there. it was caused by the clutch fork pivot bolt inside the gearbox being snapped. but in your case i'd say it's more to do with the master cylinder or possibly slave cylinder.

i had a similar problem in my 2jz cressida, i went to drive it one day and the pedal was on the floor, found out to be 2 things, one the clutch master cylinder had a leak in it and would constantly drain the fluid, not a good thing with a cushion button hydraulic clutch, and when it ran out of fluid altogether air got into it and didnt make it work properly after fluid went back in and clutch mastercylinder was replaced, although the first clutch master cylinder melted due to the excessive heat from the turbos exhaust housing (was running an 800hp turbo (BIG)) lol and set the fluid on fire which dripped down to create a bit of a fireball under the car lol (Note: always have a heat sheild or turbo bag with your turbo!) but yeh check both of them

sweet thanks for the help!

i had the same problem, i bled the fluid and swapped the slave cylinder (was leaking i think cant remember) and it was fine. cost like 20 bucks and some fluid :)

had the same pedal thingy happen today !

i had to bleed the fliud top nipple about 4 times then get underneath and do the bottom nipple 4 times,now its fine !

so might just be you need to bleed it properly.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
