Clutch pedal on floor

[QuattroFever]

Just fitted an alli flywheel with an all new Clutchnet clutch and at the same time replaced the clutch slave and realease bearing. I removed the spacer as should be done when putting the new flywheel in place but now it's all back together and driving, the pedal keeps getting stuck on the floor.
The clutch seems to bite in the right place and in all other ways performs fine but just keeps getting stuck on the floor which is at best irritating and at other times, dangerous.
It engages and disengages fine but when pushed down, sometimes the pedal doesn't seem to want to return up without a bit of a tap to convince it.
Anyone have any idea what is wrong or heard of this? Any ideas where to look for the problem?
Please don't say the box has to come out again...

I would re-bleed the clutch system that might well cure it. Once you are a 100% sure its well bled you might have to take the box out and see if the release bearing is sticking. Still I have had this a few times and most of the time a good bleed sorts it out.

That sounds like the old master cylinder problem.

Clutch is well bled. I put about half a litre through it alone and done all four corners as well.

Just done a search on master cylinder sound like same symptoms i'm getting.

I'll try fitting a new master.

Hope it solves my crunch into second at high rpm? :cheers:

I think you need to adjust your master cylinder down at the pedal. if it stucks then it's probably missadjusted. You need to turn the adjustent screw a few turns, try to push the clutch down and see if it stucks there, if it crunches when you shift, it probably doesn't press the clutch all the way down, this might be why the pedal also stucks for you. try adjusting the master cylinder before you change it. I've had this problem myself when I adjusted the master too much

Especially if you've removed the spacer between the engine and gearbox. Then the adjustment can be really off.

anyone got any pics. of where to adjust the master cylinder? Cant really see any way to do it other than unbolting it from the pedal and turning the whole shaft.

[prosty]

Take off the panel above the pedals, otherwise you don't see it, after that, get on you back and you'll see how it works. IIRC there are two bolts on the shaft, one bolt locks the shaft in place, loosen that one, then adjust the shaft with the other.

Adjusted the master and still it sticks but the clutch seems to operate fine other than this So, I removed the red assister spring and the pedal is alot firmer now but not unbearable (it's still lighter than my mk2 valver) and returns fine for now.

I wonder if there is a less powerful spring that should or can be used in place of the red?

Any Ideas?

Hi Guys,

Did anyone manage to solve this problem? Having the same problem with a SPEC 3+ Clutch on RS2 with Lightened Flywheel.

Thanks!

Are you using the 034 supplied flywheel, 20VURQ?

This might seem obvious, but did you remember to place a little grease on the splines of the mainshaft where the release bearing slides? The release bearing might be binding on the mainshaft.
