clutch pedal feels dead
« on: September 08, 2010, 12:00:46 AM »

yoooo finally got around to fixing the civic with eagles and vitaras, but when I went to drive it the clutch felt really weird.  It fully disengages if you push it all the way to the floor, but as soon as I let it up just a bit, it engages harshly.  Granted its a action 2ms, but I drove it a bit before and it didn't feel this way. 

I think the engagement should be closer to the middle of the pedal travel.  Hydraulic clutch.  Does this mean the master cylinder is going out?

also its dead soft 95% of the way down until the last little bit where its actually pushing the clutch fork

Fluid leak?  If not... bleed the line.

Make sure the system is bled well, then adjust the clutch pedal pushrod.

I had the same issue with my Comp Clutch Stage 4.

that pushrod is being a bitch, nut wants to strip. You think if I pull the pushrod out of the cylinder further that will fix it?
