Alright my throw out bearing went bad so i bought a clutch kit and put a new clutch in and throw out bearing i changed the rubber line to a SS line after i drop the motor back in and get it going i notice i have very little clutch pedal pressure so i bleed the line and still nothing

so after i try that i buy a brand new slave cylinder put it on and bleed the **** out of it and still getting alittle pressure just not enough to put my car in gear while it is running

then tonight i buy a new clutch master cylinder and put it in bleed everything and still alittle pressure just not enough

so im at a loss the only thing i could think of is they gave me the wrong clutch kit but when i held the new one up to the old one everything looked the same so i dont know i would very much appreciate any help or suggestions

the car is a 88 tii if it makes a difference

thanks alot for any input

 

Check the fork to make sure it is secure and on correctly.

 

When you push the clutch...does the slave move? In other words.... have someone look at the slave and see if its extending....

One thing I remember doing long ago with an aftermarket slave was...making my own rod to go in the slave and into the clutch fork... the one they gave me was just not quite long enough...so I took a 4in bolt (I think) and that solved my problems.... Try something like that...

I will also ask this question... <shutters> Did you put the clutch disk in correctly...?

 

yeah we can get the slave to move it just feels like the clutch pedal doesnt have enough pressure and yeah i put the clutch in the right way the new disk we had was labeled

i will try the longer bolt thing i mean at this point nothing can hurt to try

thanks for the input guys

 

If the slave is moving... I will buy you a beer if the old bolt trick does not work... Your just not getting enough movement for some reason...

Here is a test... before you put the bolt in... Take the clutch fork and see how much play there is between it and the rod coming out of the slave...if there is allot of slop...thats your problem...if not... well.... I owe you a beer...

 

Did you bench bleed the clutch cyl. I know it sounds stupid. But it seems like every time i replace a brake or clutch cyl if I dont bleed them outside of the car they suck.

 

there is a rod on the clutch pedal it self. adjust that by turnin it clockwise, this will make it engage better.

 

alright i tried a 4 inch bolt and no luck im going to try and adjust the pedal but it would seem like if the bolt didnt work then adjusting it probly wont help ill try the adjustment of it

this really sucks ive replaced everything and this damn thing wont go i mean could it possibly the tranny or what cause im stuck

oh and next time down that way SCCAIT7 ill hit you up for that beer

thanks again for all the input and more suggestions would be great ill try almost anything

 

see i was going to but the directions with the clutch cyl. said not to bench bleed it cause it could wreck the piston inside or some **** if you think it would be alright i could give that a shot too like i said ill try almost anything i really want this thing going
