Hello, On Thursday i was installing a new system into my car, when i was complete i went to move my car and noticed my friction point had changed, after driving a few hundred meters i pulled over and then smelled what appeared to be burning clutch. I have checked my fluids and the clutch fluid was empty I refilled it with DOT 3 and left it overnight. In the morning i had absolutely no pressure behind my pedal.

I have also noticed that there is mild fluid residue around the clutch pedal on the inside of the car.
If anyone has had this problem or knows of a fix please let me know.

Cheers Garion

 

You got air in your clutch line when you got low on fluid. You got to bleed it, similar to bleeding brakes. Loosen the valve, pump the clutch pedal. After getting the air out you should try to track down the leak, especially if it's a fast one as it's supposed to be a closed system.

 

Thanks man ill give that a go now and report back on how it went.

 

Okay, so i've bleed the clutch and completely replaced the old fluid with new.
Pressure has returned to my clutch pedal but the friction point is still way low to ground.

Is this another problem or do i just need to re adjust?

 

what clutch did you instal? aftermarket clutches will have diffrent engagment points. I wouldnt adjust the clutch pedal but some say you can to help that out. search adjusting clutch pedal. Also try bleading it a bit more.
