Re: Clutch pedal

This may sound stupid but do you have plenty of fluid in the system ? Do you have a leak ? Does the master or slave need replacing . If you are low of fluid fill it up and pump the pedal back and forth between fully up and fully down . Don't go all the way down or up just inbetween and see how that does . Also what are your RPMS when trying to shift ?

Re: Clutch pedal

Yes...your hydraulics aren't moving the clutch place enough. Fluid level is prob. low...make sure you bleed it well after you add more fluid and check if you have a leak...it's not normal for the fluid level to drop.

Re: Clutch pedal

It sounds to me like you meen that the clutch fork came off the ball stud . You may need to pull the trans and maybe the bellhousing to put it back on the ball stud .
