Clutch Pedal Adjustment isn't working..

[apache211]

Any help or suggestions would be great on this one....

I just replace the clutch with a OEM clutch kit, bled the system, then adjusted the master cylinder piston accordingly. Each time I did an adjustment to the pedal, I did a test drive, and each time I drove it, the clutch slipped. On the last adjustment, I turned the piston all the way counterclockwise until there was only about 3 threads sticking through to the inside of the clevis that attached to the pedal itself. I started it up and put it in gear, it moved a little bit, I reved it up to about 6k then it the rpms dumped to 0 and the engine died.... now it won't even start... all this for a clutch.. hmmm...

Is there fluid in the clutch master cylinder? Bleeding the system and not refilling the resevoir will get you every time. Another thing, "on my car" the adjustment nut has about 5 threads sticking through it, maybe 6, I can't remember.

Do your pedal have normal pressure?

Here's a link I found quite helpful in setting up my clutch:

Other than that, You shouldn't be having this problem.

Hope that helps.
