have you replaced your fly wheel and release bearing when you changed your clutch disc?
if yes, then replace your transmission fluid.
also, if you know hot to adjust your clutch release, adjust it. adjust it in a way that you need to draw back your clutch pedal a little higher for the clutch to complete engage.
here are some ways to adjust your clutch.
1. for clutch using clutch cable. open your hood, locate for the transmision, and there you can see a cable that connects the transmision and the clutch pedal. loosen in up a little.
2. for hydrovac clutch with self correcting features. just pull your clutch pedal away from the floor for a few seconds and its done.
3. for hyrovac without self correction. manually adjust the push rod (metal rod that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch master)
A clutch pedal takes MUCH more travel to function correctly, when compared to a brake system...
A clutch needs to be replaced (maybe) when it SLIPS, Chatters, Or fails to release...
Other than that, the clutch will need to be adjusted to allow for total release of the relese bearing when pedal is released, and full disengaugement when pedal is depressed....Have a mechanic look at the adjustement, as proper adjustment gives longer clutch life. This is a periodic adjustment item.
The whole idea behind the Hydralic Clutch is there is no adjustment.If the clutch is slipping then you need a new one.If you are having trouble getting it into gear then you may have a bad clutch master and or slave cylinder.Let me know if i can help.
Hi the chances are the clutch will need replacing if this has not been done before then this is something that will need doing, you need to get the clutch,pressure plate and thrust bearing replaced this all comes in a clutch kit, getting this done will solve your problem
as the clutch wears the "free pedal" is reduced ... its easy to adjust "free pedal" and important to do so .. when there is very little or no free movement above where the clutch engages/disengages then the clutch starts to wear rapidly ... if there are no other symptoms like clutch chatter, slipping or noise then the clutch plate likely has some life left if it is adjusted properly and promptly ..
hi, i know you say the clutch is ok but you might find that the clutch is really low causing the problem your having. Also depending on the age of your car it might be a case that the clutch need adjusting but on the newer car its self adjusting( if its hydraulic then its self adjusting)
If the clutch is 100% ok then you might find that the gear selector is worn where it connects to the gearbox these can be replaced and are not that difficult to do. You will need to check these for any play if their is a lot of play in them then these need replacing and should solve your problem. If they are adjustable selectors then mark where they are now then try adjusting them (some are adjustable and others are not depending on make and model) If they are not adjustable or have no play in them then the only other thing that could be wrong would be the clutch or pressure plate.
If you are unsure what your looking for then leave to a pro as you could make the problem worse by adjusting them to much im not even sure if yours are adjustable but you would be able to tell by getting under the car and follow where the gear stick connects to the rods if its just pushed on to a nylon ball at end of rods (not held on by bolts) then these are not adjustable. But if the selector is pushed onto a rod and has a bolt running through it then this can be slid either way remember to mark where it is first so as you can go back to this point if it make the problem worse. Only move it a fraction at a time checkin each time you move it. If it makes it worse or no different then the chances are the clutch is at fault.
Even though the clutch might feel good this doesnt mean its working properly when changing gear so bear this in mind.
Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok
Almost every time a clutch is replaced in a GM with hydraulic release system that system is replaced as well. You can try, and try, and try again to bleed it, but you will eventually replace the clutch slave and master cylinders. Once the slave is allowed to fully extend, it is then virtually impossible to make it function correctly again.
Sorry, there are no adjustments on your vehicle., The clutch is activated via hydraulic pressure. The master and slave cylinders are "self-adjusting". If the clutch is slipping, you are going to need to pull the trans and replace the clutch assembly. Changing the hydraulics will not help a slipping clutch at all.
first i would try adjusting the clutch cable because commonly people with think that they're clutch is going out when really just the cable has gotten stretched....try adjusting that first and if that works then you should be fine for another couple thousand miles but if you want to not have to worry bout it for awhile i would just replace teh clutch assembly....usually ranges from $200 to $450 depending on the clutch set and the mechanic that does the work for you. Let me know what happens. :)
