clutch problem. this one is a little different...
 

so ive been driving my car on the new clutch for almost 1000 miles now. car has been great to me mechanically since the swap and a few bolt replacements lol. up until now. my pedal lost all feel. now, usually this means a failure some where. such as if the master fails the pedal drops to the floor or it leaks into the cabin around the push rod. if the slave fails it looses pressure and leaks onto the ground. now... my problem is, it looses almost all the pressure but if you start pumping the pedal up it comes back and is driveable until you full stop the car and then need to pump the pedal back up to go back into first. now, i figured it would be the slave but there is no leaking, the fluid level is full and there is no wet spots. so im a little stumped, i would think air in the line but why would it show itself now? is it possible the master just failed internally so it doesnt hold pressure in the line and the fluid leaks past back into the resevoir so there are no external leaks? idk this one is a little different for me.

search n00b!

i was gonna say that!!!!

haha true that. i've seen internal failures of hydrolic cylinders without leakage twice. both the clutch cylinders on my midget did this. neither leaked, but they were bad. when i got in to them, i saw that the cylinder walls were in pretty bad shape

search? i just told everything that i know i dont need to search i was asking an opinion. either way i was probably going to replace it anyways i spose. i sigh, i sure wish i had teh new tokico one from my 260 right now....

stfu n00b.

your teh ghey. i wanted an opinion. but w/e ill just order me up a new master and do a good bleed job since some people arent mature enough to handle the giving information portion of a forum. not like im asking, hey guyz my clutch pedal doesnt work what happened!?!?!?!? im giving two options, but even though i could have figured it out on my own and was probably going to i was only wondering if any one heard of a master fialing in this manner cause it was a new one to me.

Have you tried bleeding the system?

im clean. and have school work. no time today and probably not tomorrow. idk the master looks original anyways so i should just replace it might as well get an SS line for it and new slave while im down there. well... maybe not the slave..... but maybe....lol.

Just freaking bleed the system! It takes 5 minutes...

no dur not like i havent bled it before. but see, 1000 miles and for this to come up just now? and also the 3 years it sat started right up and i drove it home purchase date no problems. jsut doesnt seem like it should suddenly need to be bled and all is cured. i did plan on bleeding it and doing the proper process to diagnose this problem. so i guess this thread has no real purpose other than im curious. lol. bleed it, no work new master, no work, new slave, no work, car is possesd

Just freaking bleed it, and if that doesn't work, then start throwing more money at it.

yeah this thread was pointless. idk why i posted it, perhaps for hopes, maybe cause this was the only time in a LONG LONG time something went wrong with my car that was interesting. idk, but either way, its not from air in the lines if it was it wouldnt act the way it is, im replacing the master then bleeding it and calling it a day. i wanna order it from MSA but i want the car by next weekend and they are slow with shipping sometimes so idk....

Why not just bleed it instead of replacing the master and then bleeding it? You may not even need a new master, not to mention even if it is the master that's gone bad you'll probably still get a temporary fix.

meh! to late now! besides i got a baller job lined up come may 10th so im gonna be making bank! soooo... im either going to do some sick ass shit to my Z or finallly get my R6. this summer is the summer to end all summers. i know it!

truckerfluffer

no carpet muncher!!!

shut up you dont even know how to bleed a clutch or change a master. do you know what a master cylinder is?


also, carpet muncher means im eating out chicks. i dont see how thats an insult.

I used to rake in the dough, but I quit cause I had no life and my grades were suffering. Thinking about starting up again during the summer, I wasted all the money I had aside to go big on the L28 and now I barely have enough for insurance and gas.

Oh shat that was funny!!!!!!!! I about had omelet out my nose! :D Snw's going into the trucker pr0n bizness!

oh no you didn't. you know who that sounds like? one of the new turds that comes and yells at zlover because he was too mean lol

Are you implying that Snw is a "waa-baby" ? :D Fluffertrucker waa-baby......

lol im not crying. im fixing it myself and regreting asking for an opinion. apparently people expect alot from me now. lol. your all a bunch of n00bs!!!!
