Hi !

Car is hard to get into gear when idling, Once in gear it is grabbing and the car starts to move,

4th Gear up a hill with the gas on clutch doesn't slip..

Its had a brand new Heavy Duty clutch only 35 000kms ago, I would expect more life out of it,

Could it need adjusting? ive changed the fluid and still no good,

Whats the easiet way to adjust? at the pedal?

Thanks
James

Your symptoms are not the symptoms of a worn out clutch. They are the symptoms of a clutch that is not adjusted properly. The "improper adjustment" would be of the sort where the pedal is sloppy at the top of stroke and only engaging the clutch actuation arm partway down through the pedal stroke, rather than up near the top. Hence you only ever get partial disengagement of the clutch.

How much dead pedal is there at the top of the stroke?

The other possibility is a broken pedal, pivot, pedal box, clutch fork, etc etc. Possibly also hydraulic problems.

Hi GTSBoy,

Thanks for the info!

I had a look last night and found it was the Pedal Adjustment,

it was very sloppy at the top of the pedal and when pressed it was only disengaging half of the pedal,

Wound the rod that connects to the pedal in 3mm and its now perfect!

Thanks
James

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
