I just want to some verification because I'm not entirely confident with the replies from the searched threads that are similar to my problem.
I had a loose nut on my clutch pedal assembly so I tightened it and got my pedal to work again (it had 4 inches of freeplay and didn't engage the clutch)
I had it welded as well.
The problem was fixed but now it engages the clutch about 1 inch off the ground.
When inspecting it, it was still a little lower than the gas pedal when at its peak and it wasn't depressing the cruise control switch like it should be (it should be, right?)
So I loosened the adjustment nut and turned the rod on the right side of the gas pedal until almost all the way out.
With it almost all the way out, the pedal was still only depressing the cruise control switch about halfway.
I left the adjustment nut loosened also and I don't know if maybe it went back to its old height really quick or not.
I'm pretty sure the slave and master cylinders are in fine shape. No leaks or anything.
and reverse grinds a bit when i try to engage it after driving forward and stopping (not sure if this is a related problem. Maybe though, since I would like to be able to engage the clutch about midway down, rather than at the floor.)
could air get into the system by adjusting the rod and removing the pedal assembly etc..??
Does this just sound like i need to adjust the pedal, TIGHTEN the bolt, and bleed the system?
Thanks!
