This weekend I replaced my master and slave cylinders. After I got done with everything I went out to do a test run and immediately noticed that my clutch was engaging when the pedal was almost complete released out. I also noticed that I really can't feel much when the clutch actually bites either, it feels smooth as if the clutch itself was wearing out.

I drove around for about 20 min and nothing seemed to change.

Previously the clutch engaged about half-way of the pedal travel, and you could also feel the clutch bite down good in lower gears.

So do you guys think I should re-bleed the clutch? Check if the slave cylinder rod fell into proper place? Or is this normal and will fix itself as a drive around more?

Thanks in advance!

 

Something's a bit odd. Typically a very high engagement point is a sign of a worn out clutch. With air in the lines, the engagement point is usually really low, you are pushing the pedal down, compressing the air in the line, then finally pushing the hydraulic fluid enough to disengage the clutch.

Go back over your installation and make sure everything's hunky dory.

Yeah that's the same thing I remember being the symptoms. I'm pretty certain the clutch is not worn, before I replaced the cylinders it was biting good if I popped the clutch.

I guess I'll re-bleed the slave and see if that does it.

I'm guessing since the clutch does still engage/disengage that the slave rod is in the right position on the fork?

 

did you fix this I’m having the same issue in my s10???
