Freddy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi, After taking the gearbox off, last weekend-I have overhauled the clutch fork assemble, slave and master cylinders and reassembled. Things are better but not perfect or working how they should. Now when I depress my clutch pedal I get some resistance (i did not get any before). However, the clutch still does not fully disengage. I am convinced the problem is somewhere along the clutch actuator path-but where? I have bled the system, and I can tell the clutch is being partially disengaged. - Is there a further adjustment I can make? (the master cylinder adjustment is at maximum) - I have not replaced the flexible tubing - could it have failed? - What should I replace this with? Can you buy braided tubing similar to brake tubing and from where? Does length matter? (my girlfriend says not, but is this true of clutch tubing?) Thanks for any help you can offer.

tacr2man Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Try removing slave cyl from bell housing and gently press pedal untill slave cyl reaches end of travel then refit to bell housing and this will push piston in slave cyl to retracted position and will expel any trapped air, it should work ok then .

bulletmp Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 The first thing is the slave fitted correctly with the bleed niple above the supply line, and the master adjustment doesnt sound right it should be in the middle to three quaters range............and lenth DOES NOT MATTER YOU MUST LISTEN TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Two things can happen to the flexi pipe. It can inflate when the pedal is pressed-causing poor disengagement, and it can close-up internally making the clutch slow to disengage (it acts as a one-way valve) Les.
