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.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
