Clutch not returning
#1
Posted 17 November 2005 - 10:47 AM
Basically, When I put the clutch to the floor, It comes up REEEEALY slowley. So ive found myself only putting the clutch in just enough to allow it to change gear. THat cant be good for it.
So I need it soring FAST.
Any ideas?
Its a Competition clutch, and Ive got a KAD quick shifter too...
Clutch takes a long time to return when I take my foot off it. VERY annoying.

Change the return spring above the slave cylinder.

verto or pre verto ?
also try prising the lever arm from inside the engine bay, how hard is it to move the clutch lever arm

A friends dad had a drive and told me thats because it is a "Competition Clutch". He said that the springs on the clutch are firmer springs to cause a faster return?
Its a different language to me. :tongue:
Can I ask, Is the clutch hydraulic or cable?
Could it be that it needs "Bleeding"?
Return spring? Jammy, I shall pop by and let you do it for me! :cheese:
Ill pick up my 1430 engine while Im there...

definatlly hydrolic, and this wouldn't normaly cause the pedal to be slow on return, as jammy said have a look to see if the spring hasn't come off..Can I ask, Is the clutch hydraulic or cable?
Could it be that it needs "Bleeding"?
as for the clutch when you look in th engine bay, do you have a liitle or a big clutch lever arm

I drove the car this morning, And the clutch was TERRIBLE.
I parked up at tesco, ran in and got a sandwich. When I got back to my car to drive the rest of the way to work. It was fine. All the way to work until I was pulling up into the carpark. Then it went all nasty on me again. :erm:

poo, Is that hard to do then?
Well, I went home and sprayed white grease allover the pedal box and it seems ok now.
Still not 100%, But its drivable. :tongue:
So who wants to check my master cylinder?

All the above about springs could well be irrelavent...
1. does it have a long arm with the slave on the top of the transfer case.
or...
2. Does is have a short arm with the slave attached to a plate on the side of the bell housing...
There are also springs on the pedal which help it return to it's normal up position, chek this has no failed...
but other than that the most likely cause is a restriction in the pipe ( hence the heavy pedal ) and also the slow return, as the fluid has to be forced back into the master by the clutch spring.
