Clutch Pedal comes up too far b4 engaging

[grimreaper]

is there an issue with to much freeplay? at the pedal im at about .5-.70 of an inch. will this hurt anything?

Not really as long as you get enough travel to select gears without grinding, I just find too much freeplay annoying.

 

[grimreaper]

thank you sir!

hmm, well mine disengages pretty much instantly and engages when the petal is pretty much at the top like 3 inches before it reaches resting point.

This bad? Do I have to much "preload"???/

I don't grind gears but it is really different than my NA, my na engaged/disengaged like 1/2 way point.

Freeplay is that part where you start pushing and it feels like there's no resistance. It's easier to feel if you do it with your hand, but yes if there is preload you're inviting premature clutch failure.

alot easier to feel with your hand. take one fingere and jab the pedal until you feel resistance. to much is very annoying indeed!

I searched all the threads but no one has the same issue as mine. My clutch pedal was going to the floor I found out the slave leaks. So I replaced my master/slave clutch lines bled the entire system and everything is nice except the clutch pedal comes up too far before the clutch engages. It goes into every gear just fine, never slips it's just that even if I press the clutch in like 2 inches it starts to disengage so during shifts there is no need to press the pedal in all the way. Any one?

if your salve is leaking it will break soon just replace it and then adjust accordingly under the dash.

Yes sir, I replaced it and used SS lines. Now it works fine. The labor under the dash is very tough.

my friend has this same problem in his car, he thinks its because he is using a w58 master cylinder on an r154. what tranny do u have and which master cylinder?

they are the same master cylinder same part #'s different slave cylinders.

i hate squeezing under the dash i got it working and never looked back no matter how much i hate shifting.. heh
