having a weird problem with my clutch. sometimes when im shifting threw gears, the clutch pedal will go to the floor and stay there.... then i have to pump them forever to get some clutch back. it only does it when im driving. could it be one of the cylinders is going bad?

 

if your not losing fluid in your master cylinder then check your slave cylinder. sounds like its going out.

 

replace the whole hydraulic system.
WHY?becasue if you change One part,the NEW part will create more pressure on the old parts and you will eventually change those out too.
the whole system,Master,slave and hose can be replaced for about 200 Tops.(and that is being exorbitant in pricing).

 

+1

 

+1 That is very good advice. After you do that, check your peddle play and adjust accordingly. I recently found out mine was way off.

 

Yep even with an entirely new system my peddle stuck to the floor sometimes until I adjusted the pedal properly.

 

i have a ss clutch line. i flushed the system cuz the stuff in it was real thin like old brake fluid. so i put in new p/s fluid and re calibrated the pedal. it works fine now

 

Real thinn like brake fluid huh? So I guess that new power steering fluid must be way better.

 

The stainless steel braided clutch line will give your Clutch a "little better" feel,as it wont allow the Fluid to Expand the Hose,as opposed to the Old rubber Style line.
Use a Dot 3 or Dot 4 brake fluid with your Clutch,and it should be fine.
Make sure that you bleed the system properly.
I found that Once in a "blue moon" you just can't get the Fluid to Enter the Slave.What I do is put a Hose on the slave's Bleeder,crack it open and "suck it up Princess".
.WARNING!:USE a CLEAR hose!.that stuff is real nasty tasting!.
Once you see Fluid IN the hose,close the bleeder and then have a buddy Pump the Clutch and Crack the Bleeder again to make sure your fluid is Running through.
Then test it for Feel,It should be Fine.

 

hahaha. ya it was real runny. like water almost.

 

I'll bet money that you couldn't tell the difference between a new OEM rubber hose and a braided steel line in either the clutch or the brakes.

 

i thumb up to "clokker". hahaa... i've had new oem ones frm factory and new ss lines and felt/notice no real differences..

 

I'm paypalling you right now!..Neither could I,But the Peace of Mind knowing that your Rubber hose won't Balloon on ya is good enough for me.
Besides,they look Mad Tyte YO!.(God!, did I just say that?)

 

(Disclaimer: all my soft hoses have been replaced with homemade braided line, so it's not that I don't like them)
The chances of a new(ish) OEM rubber hose "ballooning" are minimal, old ones can and do but all the soft hoses are service items anyway and should be replaced on schedule.
In fact, braided lines have a higher incidence of failure, in my experience.
Most frequently they fail at the connector crimp but another common cause is crud getting under the steel braid and wearing the teflon liner down.
Really nice premade braided lines will be covered in a plastic sleeve to protect against this.

 

uh... Why did you put PS fluid in it..?
Our cars don't even use PS fluid for the PS! ^_-
