Hey all,

I finally gave in and wanted to address my clutch leaking issue. The leak was at the pedals. So I bought new slave and master cylinders. I replaced both. I bled it from the slave cylinder. I tried with just dumping the fluid into a pan, and then I tried with a bottle with some fluid it in. The flow from the bleeder is smooth. I dont think there is air in it.

Now what could be the issue? It is engaging, however I have the push rod at it's limit. I would like to increase the length of the thread portion on the push rod.

Also, I would like to decrease the amount I have to push on the pedal. Is there any way to address the height of the pedal.

Thanks

 

What could be the issue with what? You are not being as clear as I think you need to be.

 

More info would definitely be nice. Different cars have different ways of adjusting the height/engagement point of the clutch pedal. Sometimes, the end of the master cylinder plunger (the part that connects to your pedal) can be screwed in tighter or loosened a bit to adjust the height of the pedal.

If you're changing that height and it's STILL not long enough for you, then are you sure you have the right master cylinder for your pedal?

 

As mentioned above the clutch pedal height can be fine tuned by adjusting the clevis that attaches the master cylinder plunger to the clutch pedal itself.

To do so does not require disconnecting the two, as the plunger will spin with the clevis attached, thereby lengthening or shortening the stroke.

There is a small jam nut on the back side of the clevis you have to break loose and then turn the plunger by gripping the knurled portion with a set of pliers.
