need some help with a clutch...
alright, so i just dropped 1500 in basic repairs on my lude: timming belts, oil pump belt, water pump, valve seals, new clutch... the basic 80k mi tune ups and replacements. so i got this organic clutch and i have no pressure in my pedal. i know its going to feel different than the last, but i mean there is no preassue! i heard u can adjust one of the cylinders (slave cylinder i think?) and it doenst mess with the catch point at all, but i can adjust the pedal, which is what i want. does ne 1 no how to go about doing that?
o, also, my radiator just went out and i was thinking of getting a lightweight, racing radiator, thats not too expensive. ne suggestions?

Did you bleed the clutch fluid? Manually move the clutch arm that is moved by the slave cylinder. Mine needed a bit of motivation before it started working.

what kind of clutch did you get? are you saying it's not working or just not as stiff as you'd like? the pressure plate determines how much pressure its clamping with. btw, the racing radiator, like one from koyo or fluidyne, cost 300+. kinda spendy.

hey, thanx for the info on the radiator. i know that the pressure plate has to do with how stiff the clutch is, but supposivley, you can adjust the pedal, to a point at least, by adjusting the slave cylinder. i was curious if ne1 had done that before or knew what the heck i was talking about, or if i just got bad info... ne ways, thanx again.

Did you install the clutch yourself? If so, did you disconnect the metal line from the slave cylinder? You may have leaked fluid and created an air pocket. If you did you will have to bleed the clutch. Any air in the line will compress insted of create pressure, so you have to bleed it all out.
