1G VID- clutch drag - worn pedal assembly

[ErikTande]

How far should the slave be moving? It's moving less than 15mm for me (see vid).

- Brand new clutch, flywheel, slave and master.
- stainless steel clutch line
- The fork is not hitting the bellhousing (see vid)
- Clutch engages RIGHT off the floor.
- Clutch is bled properly.
- Master is adjusted all the way out (only way to get the pedal to feel normal)
- Clutch drags at 7000 rpm, no less. (see vid)

Worn out pedal assembly? How do I check that?

what clutch is it?

 

[NeverSatisfiedTSI]

Get a Twin disc and watch your clutch drag problems disappear. That also looks like a 90. you might have bent pedal assembly and or bad pedal bushings. Ive experienced this clutch drag horror show and its extremely aggravating. I tried everything . But the twindisc seem to fix all my issues.

this is a write up on the pedal assembly

 

[ErikTande]

Yep, I've confirmed that my pedal is worn. The whole assembly needs to come out and I'm going to weld it up.

Do I need to order bronze bushings to do this? How many? I know there is (or was) plastic bushings in there, can they all be replaced with brass ones?

Thanks for the help, I want to get everything ordered before I pull the pedal so I can pull it, rebuild and weld it and have it back in the same day.

Yep, I read that, I've read pretty much all the previous threads, I've done a lot of searching. What I'm not sure about is how many of the bronze bushings I need to order. I can figure it out by taking the pedal out, but I want to order them first so I can get it done in one day.

You can buy just the one from jnz or an entire set.

Perfect thank you!!!!!

 

[tsiawd90]

I only used one bronze bushing when I did mine, I ordered the one from JNZ.

I would suggest only lowering the steering column don't pull it out because it is a real pia to align back up. It is a real pain to get that assembly out of there.

Is it weird that everything im reading im hearing in my head your voice from watching your channel?

Pull the driver seat out so you don't have to be so contorted while trying to pull it out and put it back in.

WAAAAYYYYY ahead of you, I had to pull the seat and a bunch of dash stuff just to get room underneath to install and adjust the damned master cylinder. : P

Eric, will this be an upcoming episode on velocity lab or what??? I know you had a kid recently so congrats on that!!

 

[Dhan]

I’m still curious what clutch, PP, and flywheel you’re using.

 

[AWD-Tony]

Erik, did you get this fixed? I'm having the same issue but was thinking about using a 2g master rod.

Keep this alive. Just saved a 92 Laser AWD from a partout and an owner that wasn't too mechanically inclined. Need to repair clutch pedal. If you saw what happened to the throwout bearing and release fork because of a bad pedal assy, you'd $h!t yourself.

Delete this. Followed the link to the other post - which answered my questions.
