Okay, so I replaced my clutch and now the issues seem to be, that its way to soft when i'm pressing it down (how can I make it stiffer) . Also The clutch is fully engaged when the pedal is only 50% off the floor, The rest is just a dead pedal. It feels weird pressing the clutch down and not feeling any pressure until I get half way down to the floor. I was wondering what the culprit could be. The slave cylinder is fine and has no leaks and neither does the clutch master cylinder. Is there a way I can adjust this? I never bled the clutch. Anyone have instructions on how I would do that (on the s2000 of course)?

It's and exedy oem replacement clutch and my car is a MY02.

I would appreciate any help guys.

P.S. Yea I know it's weird that I can change the clutch but am asking how to bleed it. lol

 

have someone pump the clutch about 20 times and then hold the clutch to the floor. then while the other person is holding the clutch down u go the the slave cylinder and unscrew the bleed valve till the liquid comes out. then close it up and repeat these steps until u see a streem come out. if it looks like its spitting or studering when the liquid is coming out then u need to continue doing this until i get a stream.

 

Alright and i also heard that there was a way to adjust the stiffness?

 

no theres no way to adjust the stiffness. there is a way to adjust how far pedal engagement is though. there's a pushrod behind the clutch pedal that goes into the firewall (the footwell side of the master cylinder)
on the pushrod there will be a 12mm nut, loosen that nut and turn the actual rod (not the nut) clockwise when you're facing the firewall. that will make the pedal stroke higher up/taller. but make sure your clutch is still engaging properly within specs. turning counterclockwise will conversely make the pedal stroke shorter.

make sure that after bleeding, you drive around with it first before adjusting it. i forget, but i think the s2k has a clutch booster which will make it feel normal after the car's on

 

Footwell side of the master cylinder? Isn't it on the driver's side of the tranny? The clutch pedal is on the left. Is it behind the clutch pedal?

 

yES AND yES

 

Does anybody have a picture of where it is behind the pedal? Im looking but don't know what to look for really lol

 

DONT MEAN TO THREAD JACK! Just didn't want to start a new thread when my answer is partially in here.

Okay, I was just wondering if you need to take of the cap of the clutch cylinder at any time during the bleeding process? I'm not saying you're wrong Crave, but is there a step that you're missing? I was told a slightly different way to bleed the clutch.

 

Any help?
