Soft clutch and rear brakes
Soft clutch and rear brakes
Hi, I have a really soft clutch pedal. I bought the car like this is it is suppose to have a new clutch last year (30,000 miles ago). It had a Bonez street/strip clutch.
Finally, my passenger's side rear brakes are wearing out very quickly. THe rear tires are only 40% compared to the 80% tread on the driver's side rear. The previous owner had to replace the rear disc pads because they've worn thing, but the other side was fine.
Any thoughts? Hopefully no the LSD?!
Thanks, Thanh

Bleed the clutch, then bleed the brakes.
If bleeding the brakes does not fix the problem, you have a stuck caliper which needs to be replaced or rebuilt. Or, the parking brake cable/acutator/lever could be hung up. Try adjusting that as per instructions in the factory or Haynes manual.
Wait....you talked about tire thread as well? Get an alignment. If the car is seriously out of alignment, you may have worn or bend suspension components.

rear brakes
The rear pass. rotors are eaten away a little. I think may more than air in the clutch fluid. When I press the clutch down in neutral it makes a vibrating/funky sound. It's barely noticable, but it's there.
I don't think it's the alignment in the rear. There's break dust everywhere. I'll check the ebrake cable.
TIA, Thanh
