The Hydraulic clutch on your Grand Vitara is non adjustable. The hydraulic cylinder will self adjust/position itself as the clutch wears. If your clutch pedal friction point is high or clutch is slipping you will require a new clutch kit and flywheel machine.
Bad hydraulics (leaking/spongy) and worn out clutch have opposite symptoms. If the clutch does NOT ENGAGE - get the vehicle moving - you probably need to replace the clutch and/or pressure plate.
If the clutch does NOT DISENGAGE - you can't get the transmission into gear, or there is difficulty or grinding when trying to shift between gears - your hydraulic system is not moving the clutch release arm far enough to disengage the clutch.
See if your hydraulic clutch needs fluid added or if it needs bleeding-if it went dry you need to bleed the system down at the slave cylinder on the bell housing.
If the hydraulics are working good, your clutch disc may be worn too bad to still work. If that is the case, you will need a new clutch disc, new pressure plate, and new clutch release bearing.
It's a manual transmission, then? If it is, your clutch is not working. You need to check at the transmission's bell housing to see if the clutch pedal being depressed causes the clutch fork to move-either forward or backward, it should move about an inch with the pedal pushed to the floor.. The clutch pedal will either be cable operated, or it will be a hydraulic clutch with a clutch master cylinder on the firewall, and a steel tube going down to the bell housing, where a small "slave cylinder" operates the clutch fork.
If you see the clutch fork move a fair amount, at least an inch, then you probably need a new clutch disc and pressure plate. A clutch job means removing the transmission to replace the clutch.
If the clutch fork does not move, either the cable has too much slack-for cable operated clutches, or the hydraulic unit has a problem-for hydraulic operated clutches. One of your hydraulic cylinders may be bad, either the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder.
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.
Hello siscabella, you may not have a clutch cable, most newer cars use a hydraulic clutch.
You should be able to call any parts store to confirm that your clutch is hydraulic.
Many prefer the old machanical clutch because you could adjust the cable to get more clutch, but, the hydraulic clutches are not designed so you can adjust it. If you have a weak clutch, you will most likely need a new clutch in the near future.
I hope that I've been helpful.
Sorry but all the newer cars don't have a adjustment's they are all hydraulic clutches. They have adjustments for the cable but it wont help the clutch. It needs a new clutch and maybe a flywheel if it's burnt and slippin. I hope this helps ya.
