2G need help bad clutch PROBLEMS!!

[Niteninja01]

Im having weird problems with my clucth. Ill drive for awhile and the peddle would get real stiff like its already engaged. But if I let the car dot for a bit the peddle will go backto normal. Its a stock clutch with maybe 500 miles on it. Any help would be great on this

Do a search for 2g clutch pedal pump up. I think you will find the solution there.

What changes have you done to the car if any, anything leaking, worn drivetrain parts, clutch, tob, have you bled it well?

The guy I bought it from said the clutch master was leaking but I check it and its still
full. I never bled it yet I was going to try it but wanted some input first before I did it.

If you are fighting an inconsistent pedal adjustment in a 2G, adjust the upper pedal stop adjuster so that you gain additional free play at the top of the pedal travel. Loosen the lock nut and turn the whole switch to get the necessary freeplay (see above pic). You'll probably end up with the clutch pedal sitting a bit higher than the brake pedal. If this is your problem, you will notice that the pedal suddenly gets very tight and the release point will suddenly move up a lot, this is the cause.

2Gs need free play at the top of the pedal travel. If it is close to no travel and right on the edge, then it pumps up. Only 2Gs have a relief valve in the master cylinder that needs to be uncovered so fluid can go back into the reservoir on the clutch release. If not, it gets tighter and tighter and tighter. Then it may slowly relieve the pressure and it is back to normal. Just a 2G thing. You need more free play at the top of the pedal travel.

Left unchecked, the pedal will pump up more and more. The clutch will begin to slip since it is as if you are driving around with your foot on the clutch pedal. Also it plays hell on the crankshaft thrust bearings. The constant pressure pushes the clutch release bearing onto the clutch and flywheel. When centrifugal force throws the clutch release fingers outwards, they make additional pressure on the thrust bearings of the crank. This is an additional factor in short lived crankshaft release bearings and an additional potential cause for crankwalk.
