clutch help please !!!!!!!!!!!
clutch help please !!!!!!!!!!! i have a 98 camaro with a t56, the car has been getting harder to get into gear (all). the clutch pedal engages about an inch off the floor as well. when i run the car and (try) to shift at higher rpm's i have a greater difficulty shifting and when i depress the clutch pedal it noise dives and does not fully disengage until i forcefully pull it into nuetral :-( The fluid level has not droped any and is not very cloudy or dark, dirty looking either. I bought the car a year ago and they told me that the clutch and slave cylinder had been replaced, i had to pull the trans to fix an oil leak and i could confirm that it was all brand new and worked great, i have since put about 30,000 miles of very easy highway miles on the car with a few power shiftes into second, no clutch drops or massive burnouts, does this soound like i need to replace the clutch or maybe get a tick amc and adjust the pedal out some more ??????????
the trans has about 130,000 miles, at about 100,000 i put a 3-4 steal shift fork in it and i inspected all the syncro sliders and they all looked good, it's got to be a clutch release problem, i was trying to get an idea of what was going on before i pulled the trans
I assume that everything was fine with the clutch initially correct? Meaning that it has just started to do this. Do you know what clutch you are currently usning? Generally speaking a pedal that is on the floor and a clutch that won't release occuring all of a sudden would point at a hydraulic issue. I know you just flushed and refilled the system but if you have a weak slave or master it could certainly lead to this. Let me know a bit more about the parts being used and I will be happy to assist you further. Thanks,
Did you find the cause, Mark ? I'm having similar problems.
Clear fluid. My pedal releases near the top though. When I start up in first the car lurches forward. When in 1st and the engine not running, I can't get it out of 1st. Rev matching helps a little. I do not have a soft pedal. It's a stock 01 F-body t56 that was freshened up 10k ago w/ steel 3-4 fork, stock clutch. 5K on a new LS1 slave and Wilwood 7/8 master with braided line. Car is a 93 RX7 Ls1 without headers.
