Clutch Problems

[iceminion]

there is ZERO slop in the clutch pedal assembly, there is an extremely small amount of play in the master cylinder pin thingie that connects the U shaped piece of metal that spins to the pedal assembly, but thats not even worth talking about.

I am sure that I could band-aid this situation, I just want to know how many of you have to band-aid their cars, and is this just a symptom of using different clutches/flywheels or should I go ahead and replace the master cylinder, its not leaking, so I dont think I will see any difference...

and will using the band-aid cause the TOB to wear out? always having pressure on it?

Thanks

I have used 3 ACT's, 2100, 2600 and 2900 and a twin disk. None have needed bandaids. A weak slave did cause the issues you are describing on the 2900. How hard is your clutch pedal to push?

[iceminion]

Not hard at all.

There is a huge spring on the clutch pedal that I have never seen on a DSM before, to make it lighter while depressed, I assume its for GVR4s only.

Then again, when I had my 2600 in there, I remember the clutch being pretty freaken heavy.

I will just buy a new master and slave cylinder, cant hurt right?

God, this car is nickel and diming me to death!

Bent throw out fork is my guess.

sadly, I dont have another fork to compare this one to, it doesnt look bent to me.

If this is my stock fork, it worked great with the 2600, if it is NOT my stock one then it has to be out of a car with a less then 2600. All my dsm parts kinda got mixed up when I had all the cars taken apart....

but chances are its not bent, can you tell from the picture? I assume its going to be a tiny amount of bending.

I have my cannon with me now, I can get a higher quality pic, assuming that you can diagnose a bent forlk when its in the car...
