Re: [DML] Where should my clutch grab?

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

If your clutch master and slave cylinder have over 10k miles on them there is a good possibility that the seals are failing due to a chemical change in the old fluid when it mixed with the new fluid. The other possibility is that there are air bubbles trapped in the fluid line. 

Thoroughly bleed the system, if the problem still persists replace both the clutch master and slave cylinders.

Subject: [DML] Where should my clutch grab?


Before I installed the stainless hydraulic line, my clutch used to grab
right off the floor. After I installed it the clutch now grabs at the top
of the pedal travel and feels very weak. Is this normal? The car had a new
centerforce clutch at 56,000 miles and it's only got 61,000 now so it
shouldn't be worn yet (I'm extremely easy on it). Is there a way to adjust
it? The old manual I have says the pedal free-play isn't adjustable, but
there's a nut on the master cylinder shaft that I can turn up or down.
Moving it doesn't seem to do anything so I'm wondering if I have to
disconnect the rod from the clutch pedal, twist it down, and then reattach
it?

Everyone's help is greatly appreciated!
