Clutch Problem!!

[Qking95]

95 Eclipse GS. When I press on my clutch the pedal pops half way down and then pops again when it hits the floor. It sounds like the pop noise is coming from my master cylinder. I can definitly feel it in the clutch when I hear the popping sound. I just got my clutch master cylinder replaced about 300 miles ago though. The only thing I can think of is my master cylinder is cheap and bad or I got air in the lines somewhere. Any other suggestions? Please help! Thanks!

Get under the dash and try and push the pedal in while watching the master cylinder rod go in. Look for fluid or anything abnormal leaking out of it. Air shouldn't pop.

Ok I pushed it in and their is no fluid coming out but while I was under their I pushed it in I think the metal peice that connects to the pedal itself is the thing thats popping cause when I pushed it in it moves down a lil right when the sound ocurs when it pops. Can I fix this some how?

I'm not positive what you mean, it's it the metal bracket that forks into a kind of |_| shape?

 

[Qking95]

Yeah that thing . It's connected right to the pedal from the cylinder rod.

That the clutch pedal bushing. I would take out the whole pedal assembly and welding i t. Thats what I did.

 

[Qking95]

I don't really wanna pull the whole thing and I have no clue how to weld . Is their something I can tighten on it by chance to stop this?

 

[Qking95]

So I Tried tightening the nut behind the bushing and the nut just spins back into place. This is annoying the hell out of me. Anything else I can do?

You have to either replace the assembly. Or pull it out and have someone reweld the bushing in place, which some people frown upon. Either way you will have to pull the pedal out.

Does it pop while your driving or just while your pushing in the clutch while its not running?

 

[Qking95]

It pops prob. 90% of the time when it's not running and 10% when i'm driving around. So not as often when it's running. I am pretty positive it's the bushing connected to the pedal because when it pops it sounds like it's comin from it also when it pops the bushing slants down a little at the exact time of the pop.

I you know. Shop or a friend who can weld its cheap. I have none when I did it. Total cost. 150

Does sound like the bushing. But check everything over real good and make sure all is put back the way it is supposed to be. Why i say this is the fact you just had the master cylinder replaced.
