Clutch Pedal Feel Problem

My clutch pedal for starts is pretty close to the floor, maybe 1 inch before it responds which i have adapted to driving too and find in no problem. Been dirving around like this for 6 months with plenty of strength in it. Lately when i go for a run on the freeway or as if it warms up, the pedal now goes high and stiff from the word go. Its like its been adjusted. Ive been mucking around the pedal adjustment under the dash but doesnt seem to do much. I also just bleed the clutch thing under the car.

Any ideas???

Also on my latest trip to the drags, after a few hard runs, i couldnt select 3rd with a quick shift. This happened about 4 times. It was like i was grinding it and i had neutral. A few tests on the street and it seems ok. I don't know if its coincedence or what.

I have my clutch about 1 inch from the floor too, I have no issues with it but other people don't like the feel.

Lately at the drags (before I got it "adjusted") i'd have to put my foot "flat" on the floor (and leave it there) to release the gear and then engage rather then just a quick push on the pedal. I was told by the the mechanic that supplied fitted my clutch/brakes that its because I have an organic sports clutch where the plate itself will flex when worn/hot (he had a worn 1 their and showed me how flexible it becomes just by squeezing it with your fingers).

What clutch do you have?

I got a similar thing with mine...

Doesnt phase me... but you might have a leaky slave cylider (is that whats its called?)

As mine is leaking a bit, along with the clutch brainded line not being the right diameter is causing mine not to disengage at times after a fang.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
