I recently bought an rx-7 turbo 2. The guy said that the clutch line needed to be bled and so I had it bled when I had the oil changed and the car checked out. The car, motor wise and rear end wise and everything is tip top but after bleeding the clutch line the clutch wants to stick to the floor, I'm unsure of why and it does it often but not everytime. If anyone has any ideas before I take it to my local stealership to get raped on what they want to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated. Sry if this has been discussed before but I was unable to find anything in a search and figured it would be easier to just make a thread.

how often does this happen and how long do you hold down the clutch

Air in line, faulty cylinder.

It does it probly every other time I shift, and I only hold the clutch down long enough to shift. I already bleed the clutch line, so I'm hoping it's not a faulty cylinder
and maybe just the clutch needs to be adjusted or something, because a cylinder may be very difficult to come across.

Any auto parts store will cary a cylinder for under 50$

I'd try re-bleeding the clutch line before buying a new master or slave cylinder. But, they're not all that expensive to replace. I think a master is about $50 and a slave cylinder is about $30.
I would not go to the dealership for any serivce or work done to the car.

The dealership is indefinately over twice as expensive for anything I've asked for and they are incredibly rude so I don't intend on being back there ever again, it's just hard where I am to find somebody that will work on the car, I've re-bled the line and had no luck. Gonna change the mater and slave cylinders and hopefully won't have anymore problems.

I have had trouble bleeding a couple clutch systems in these cars...

I believe what happens is there is a small pocket of air caught in a corner of the slave. (if you look at the shape of the slave, and the way the fluid will flow through it makes sense)

But the one that I could NOT bleed for the life of me...I had to unbolt the slave from the bellhousing and connect the vaccum bleeder to the bleeder screw, then turn the slave upside down around and sideways and back again while I slowly drew vaccum.

That got it.


EDIT: by the sounds of the intermittance of your problem though you need either cylinder

rx7idgit

How hard is it going to be to do the slave cylinder, the master cylinder looks pretty easy to get to but the other one is kinda tucked back in there. And is there anything I need to be extremely carefull of(lines that need to be adjusted or something) on either?

no not really you dont have to move anything just get a ratchet and an extension that pivots the socket, althought that doesent mean be careless just careful, i changed out my slave and master with no problem whatsoever....hopefully you have small hands!! j/k you will be alright....

i hate bleeding the clutch system btw....
