stockgp Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 whilst moving the tgp back and forth from the garage to the yard, i've noticed the clutch engages with the pedal way close to the floor. say, 2 inches. from my experience with the ste that the tranny came from, the clutch should engage when the pedal is about 40% of the way up. of course, that's with an old clutch. is this just form the new clutch? i'm positive i didn't install the clutch backwards, so that can't be it. i find it hard to believe there's that much of a difference between the old clutch and the new. the old one still had a LOT of life left in it. anyone have a similar experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bake82 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 See link below. http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php?topic=63950.0 Only thing I can think of is if you did not bleed the hydraulic system well enough. I my grab point is very low, and I think it might be due to a sub-par bleed....however I won't know until the spring when I can beat on the car a little to see if it slips....I get no grinding tho.

stockgp Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 by that thread, sounds like my clutch is grabbing where it should be. and i bled the shit out of the master and slave before they went in. i hear no grinding, so i guess i'm okay?

GP1138 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Yes, the new clutch should have a big effect on this, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismellrealbad Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 better too low than too hi and slipping. id prefer it as low as possible to be honest. and yes it may grab at a different spot with a new clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 better too low than too hi and slipping. id prefer it as low as possible to be honest. and yes it may grab at a different spot with a new clutch x2 i always thought the lower the better.

stockgp Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 well, i'm ok with low. i've just never driven a car where the clutch let's out this low. even brand new cars i've driven let out higher. i'll get used to it, it'll jsut take a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
