Ptero Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Car: '73 240Z Engine/tranny: L28/5spd My clutch abruptly decided to not fully disengage. I can be stopped and in gear having the clutch pedal all the way to the floor but the car will want to slightly move forward. I can also hear what sounds like some sort of on and off scraping sound when the clutch pedal is pressed down (what I would assume is the clutch disk grinding on the flywheel). I've adjusted the clutch free play which either gives me no shifting or the problem explained above. The master cylinder fluid was full upon first inspection. Is there anything to check on the slave? My next thought is to flush/bleed the clutch as the fluid didn't look great. Any other suggestions? Edited July 31, 2012 by Ptero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash542001 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Check the slave's travel, I think it should be between 0.7-1.0" if less than that something is wrong with your slave/master or you have air in the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptero Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I've been checking the FSM and am not seeing anything about travel distance of the slave. This is also the post '72 slave so it's auto adjusting unlike the prior models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Pull the boot on the master and slave. If fluid leaks out, replace both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
