lemme start from scractch.. bascially i had a problem where my clutch would not go into gear inbetween shifts... so i replaced the clutch and flywheel with a exedy stg1 and 8.8lb flywheel.. well from the shop it ran alright, clutch engagement was imediatly off the floor and was kinda hard to drive but it was alright.. everything was very smooth and shiftin was smooth.. as the day went on i went home and then got back in my car a couple hours later.. pedal is fine and everything until i start the car.. pedal imediatly loses all the pressure that it had but the pedal DOES return back to the top.. it does NOT stick to the floor.. every so often the clutch wil come half way up but 9 times outta 10 it will come back up with no probs.. the clutch is just super easy to push as if it does not have enough pressure to move the pressure plate, and it will NOT go into gear from a stop no matter how hard i try... i replaced the slave in hopes of a fix and nothing same prob.. next is master cylinder. does anyone think that will do the trick? its almost like i might have a vacuum leak or somethin, is that possible with a clutch?

cliff notes: clutch ***** up, got new clutch, now got no pedal pressure, dunno what to do..?

 

it might be your master cylinder or it might not be.. it might even be your slave cylinder... either one of them are leaking, dirty/low tranny fluid or there's air your system. try to change your tranny fluid nd bleed the system a few times. if you're still having problems.. maybe it is ur master or slave cylinder.

 

well its def not my slave cylinder bc i just replaced that and no change.. i really think its the master bc i took it out and the piston sticks and it was leakin on a floora lil bit.. the grease was down the pedal and some on the carpet.. it needs replacing anyways and i flushed the system yesterday so it couldnt be that, its gotta be the master.. thers no vacuum involved with the clutch is there?

 

there you do master cylinder. replace, bleed again. ur good to go...

 

im just anxious to get my stg1 clutch and 8.8 lb flywheel on the road so this clutch master this is kinda pissin me off.. suposed to have it in tomorrow by 2.. ill stay posted

 

bump need more opinions

 

what opinions???? ur problem is sloved. case close

 

just installed clutch master... same prob... clutch feels harder then a bitch with car off.. once you start car and hold down clutch it shifts fine.. when you lift off clutch and depress it again then i lose all pressure... seems like i have a vacuum leak that is allowing my hydraulic pressure to leak out once car is started.. i dont know much about vacuum but i know under my hood it sounds like a teapot is going off

 

i had a suggestion it was a bad clutch.. can that happen?

 

close thread... pressure plate was not bolted down tight and was missing 3 bolts... problem is fixed
