Need clutch help. Re-post


Recommended Posts

I thought my only problem is that it needed to be bled. What I got: sbc, T5. I put it together just like it says in the JTR manual. Got the Tilton MC, 3/4". I was so sure I had air in there I couldn't get out that I finally disassembled and reassembled the slave while submerged in a bucket of DOT 3 while pumping more through the MC. My hands will never be the same. And this is not easy from under the car (wife helped). I know I have all the air out now. But: with 3/4" stroke on the MC, full pedal travel, I get about 3/8" travel at the slave. Clutch will not disengage. All parts are brand spankin' new. Help, please. Pete, Mike, anybody? I want to get this part working before the exhaust is installed.

I'm using a T56 so this might not apply but... Look at the rod on the master. Lengthening it may help you get more travel at the pedal. There's a stop that you can adjust to get a higher pedal too. I fiddled with this rod a bit in order to get the clutch to release where I wanted it to.

 

Have you bled the master? This also gave me a soft pedal. There's a bleedscrew on the Tilton unit - attach a hose to it and run it into the resevoir up top. Once this is done pump the pedal with the bleed valve open to circulate the fluid and remove the air.

 

Hopefully one of those ideas will help...
