Clutch Pedal Issue

[uni_gst]

95 GS-T 129k

About 2 weeks ago I noticed my clutch pedal to be very low, yet able to shift without any problems. I thought it might have something to do with the slave cylinder or the other pump so I changed them... The problem is it still engages in the very bottom.

I've been driving the car like this for all this time without any problems so I'm thinking it has something to do with the pedal assembly, but I've never heard about anyone having this kind of problem. I tried looking for a reason to this problem but no one seems to know whats causing this ( Most of the people ive spoken to have never seen this problem before )

Any help will be very aprecciated.

Thx

Sounds like you have some components that are worn or bent. I would recomend you check your clutch fork and pivot ball closely for signs of wear. Also you might want to check to make sure there is no air in the system and give it a good bleeding. Check all the line connections for holes and cracks. Make sure the fittings are tight. If you still have the stock rubber line I would check and see if it is worn out and may need replaced or upgraded to a SS line. If all else fails check and see if you can adjust the clutch under the dash. Good Luck

I did bleed the system each time I installed any part. Another thing I forgot to mention is that the clutch comes up completely only if its not engaging any gear. If I put the car in any gear then it will stay down...

Thx for your help Fred

Is it all the time or just while taking turns? Check the end of your crankshaft for play.

It is all the time. No matter if its turning or not.

Only if I'm not engaging any gear it will have more chance of coming up completely. I was also told about the spring that goes in the pedal as part of the problem... This is just something I never thought would happen


Thx for the help

Sounds to me like your clutch adjustment rod has slipped or is slipping. Why don't you try that route, it's free and takes a minute and a drive to find the "sweet" spot.

I'll have to look for it, it's the first time I've been into this kind of clutch issue so I'm not familiar with what I might found down there . That rod must be somewhere near the master cylinder I guess right ?

Thx!

About 3/4 of the way down is the article about the clutch rod and so on.
The rod is attached to the master but the adjustment is on the clutch pedal. You'll see it on the attached link.
