i got a brand new centerforce clutch and p.plate and bearing but the clutch pedal is really smooth

the clutch got no "holding" problem but theres not feeling in the pedal

could it be cause by a worn out slave cylinder????

thanks alot guys

 

come on don't tell me nobody had this sort of problem

 

Is the clutch just really easy to push in? Personally I like my clutch to feel really smooth. I have a DF certerforce that is really easy to push in and is quite smooth only if it would hold the power. Try to give a little more detail.

 

well i got no feeling in the pedal when the clutch start to grip

i just know it because the car start to move

its really smooth i can push with my finger easily

i just hate that feeling

maybe its just because ive been driving me truck for too long

 

i think its normal. my car has a VERY light clutch, it doesnt take any effort to push in. and theres no point in the clutch travel where i can tell that its grabbing.

its like only 5 lb of pedal pressure, its nothing. i drove an SVT cobra, and thats like doing an 80 lb leg press w/ just one foot. i think i know what you are expecting it to me, and i dont think our cars are supposed to be very strong o rhard to push.

well if its normal..........ill stop complaining

 

Which Center Force clutch and pressure plate do you have?

 

Hey guys thought I asked being that we are talking about clutchs, I exchanged my clutch about 6 mths ago for stock clutch set with heavy duty bearing; But now at high rpms the pedal stays stuck to the ground! That's scary specially if your trying to impress ....WTF could be happening any suggestions?
Thanks.....

 

that sounds like a hydrolic problem. check your slave and master clutch cylinder.

 

Hey Gab, thats the way the centerforce stuff is designed and is also one of its weak points for normal street driving , The centerfoce clutch uses weights attached to arms, so as the rpm increase, the clamping pressure gets increased, its a good way to reduce pedal effort so that you are not pushing against hard *** springs all the time, but in street applications, most of the starting off the line is done at lower Rpms, so the clamping pressure is not there, and the clutch slips, where as in racing applications, the CF is a good clutch, because you are launching at a higher RPM, thus more immediate clamping pressure due to the centrifugal design, I know there are alot of people that are not real happy with the CF clutch, but they work great at the track, just not so great on the street, I have one in my truck behind a 440, it has half the pedal pressure of the stock clutch, but you can make it slip easily by starting off real slow, if you start off at 1200 rpm though its a different story, it grabs hard but with that kinda of start in a 440, you usually end up burning the tires for a bit.. I have the clutchmasters stage 3 kevlar in my TII, so far so good, it grips superhard, and pedal pressure is only slightly more than stock....Max

 

thanks Max

i never thought of that

Centerforce said it was "like stock pedal feel" but i think they meant "like soft pedal feel" =)

 

ACT next time...

 

Hey Scott 89t2, I think the slave/master cylinder is shot last night coming from work at a light I got in fisrt gear and took off and redlined in 2nd when something poped and all the sudden couldn't shift to 3rd nor 4th...WTF? Then when I finally parked car the clutch pedal will go dwn all the way but would not engage...hard as f*&k to put into gears; Finally towed it back home!!! What could of happened? thanks for any info....

 

Check for signs of leakage on the carpet under the pedal. Your clutch master cylinder is probably shot. It's cheap and easy to fix. Even NAPA has the unit. A swivel for your 12mm socket makes it easier.

 

i decided to rebuild the slave cylinder since i noticed some oil on the dust boot

and you know what??

muuuuuuccccccchhhhh better!!!! =)

theres a seal around the piston pushing the rod that push the fork and it was really bad

our cars arent brand new so its kinda normal to have worned out parts =)

 

Thanks guys for the info. I'll be checking into how-to-fix the slave/master cylinder and getting all parts together for this weekend....Hope everything comes out good?
