Title: Clutch, Bleed.. hurts to speak! :P
Post by: FieroDough on July 27, 2002, 01:57:08 am
Well the tranny is in and all is good, but the clutch is not fully dissengaging. Hydrolics hold pressure. No leaks ect.. just not enought travel.

There is some slop in the pedal. that may be the problem. Anyone care to have a look?

Cheers!

Just happens to be a bleeding thread at PFF

The pedal should sit about an inch or so higher than the brake pedal.  I must say not sure about a retrofit like yours.  The pin travel at the slave should be about 1 1/8" or so.  V8 Archie's site should have some pics of what to look for in bent banjo fittings, pedals, etc.

I meant to mention.  The guy who used to do our buses, races stock cars. They have a 36 Chev, and he explained that they always fill in reverse due to bleeding problems.  They have a canister with a hand pump and attach it to the slave bleed screw.  Then pump the system  slowly full of fluid until the master fills up.  Works like a charm.  I always wondered if this would make it easy for Fieros.

Sounds like there may be a bent pedal bracket or banjo, or even still some air.  Bleeding sucks.
