Hey guys, I was driving the GSX the other day heading to work, coming off the thruway I stop at the tollbooth, car feels notchy downshifting.. pay my toll.. take off try to shift into 2nd and the pedal drops straight to floor, doesn't come back up. ruh roh. pull over to the side.
My stainless braided line was rubbing on a clamp and burst.. lost fluid, lost pressure. no more pedal. tow it to work, put a new line on, bleed it out as best I can at work hoping I can limp it home. Get in and the clutch pedal is lower than it normally sits, about an inch or so underneath my brake pedal currently. start the car and you can hear the TOB rubbing against something internally.. suspicious of a bad slave, I replace that as well. rebleed. same results. I make as many adjustments as I want at the clutch master and see little to no change in clutch pedal height.
With the new slave and line installed my clutch fork is sitting far to the left.. (as of a few weeks ago it was center) Clutch pedal assembly is welded, still feels tight, any movement at the pedal is immediately felt at the master rod. I'm just confused as to where and why me popping a hydraulic line would cause my pedal assembly to sit low and my clutch fork to be all the way to the left.
@bastarddsm @twicks69 You two combined know just about everything there is to know about this subject.
My next course of action is to undo the clevis and see whether or not the pedal assembly will even return to its original height with no input from the hydraulic system. I'm just confused.. after I noticed the issue the car probably didn't travel more then 30-40 feet.
Any other sanity checks I can do at this point?
Any input appreciated,
Joe
