Need Help :-(

[Freddie]

Hey all

I have recently put a new HD button clutch in my skyline r32 gtst. The process was simple enough and everything seemed to go together pretty easily. I replaced the gearbox snout as the old one had broken off.

Then all the trouble started once I started bleeding the clutch system. I am only using the master cylinder nipple as the other two bleed nipples are at lower points and only clutch fluid is cumming out no air. So I am continually bleed from the master cylinder nipple. Its pretty simple and as Im bleeding I can see the slave progressively moving more and more. The only problem that I can visible see as I bleed is that the master cylinder moves upwards and the clutch pedal is pumped. I have now gotten to the point where I am no longer seeing any improvement in the slave cylinder's travel.

The problem is that the clutch isn't able to fully disengage. I have tried adjusting the u thingo on the ending of the master cylinder but still no improvement. I have noticed that the clutch pedal sits about 1 half the distance that the brake pedal sits. I have taken the clutch pedal box out and have inspected it. The mounting bolts seem to be slightly bent.

My question is what should I do to try and extend the travel of the slave cylinder to get the clutch to fully disengage? Should I put spacers between the clutch pedal and firewall to try and sit the clutch right? Is it the slave cylinder?

I am totally lost and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Tyrone

From under dash there is a bolt stopping the pedal from moving towards the drivers seat. This may even be a switch. Unlock lock nut and take wiring off then wind it out till the pedal is at desired height.(same as brake pedal) then lock lock nut and put wiring back on clutch switch.

Then adjust the pushrod that goes from pedal into the master cylinder.

Try this and let us know

I have attempted to do this with no success twice. The clutch pedal sits still too low with the bolt removed. The nut type thing on the master cylinder is already adjusted quite long and has made very little to no difference.

I Will keep trying once the weather drys up a bit. Thanks for your input DVS 32R.

how bent is the pedal box?

[Freddie]

Slightlynot overly noticeable, its only the bracket that rests against the fire that is bent. Im thinking maybe I need a new clutch pedal box? so that the clutch sits level with the brake pedal? Any suggestions?

Cheers for your help guys

Had the exact same problem with my r32 after rebuilding the gearbox, turns out it was the pivot ball inside the bellhousing that was to far in so the travel from the slave cylinder wasnt enough to disengage the clutch, take your gearbox off an have a look, its a 17mm spanner to unwind the pivot ball an bobs your uncle
